My fault I know but the surgeon general of the united states is

19. I was dealing with so much, at the time, I just wanted to move on. Probably a mistake

And the funny thing is, I'm a really good patient for anesthesia. Admittedly, that was only my 3rd experience. When I had foot surgery the put me under 'twilight sleep'. I woke up in the OR, but it was because they gave me whatever reverses it and I was up and ready for anything. They took me to my recovery room and asked if I needed anything, and I said 'BREAKFAST!!!' I was starving.

So, after they wiped the shock off of their faces I was given a full breakfast, which I proceeded to devour. Then I noticed some people standing in the doorway, watching me. Finally one of them said 'Most people don't eat like that, right after anesthesia'.

The only other anesthesia I ever had was when I was 4 and had a Bakers Cyst removed from the back of my knee. it was something I had to breathe in (maybe ether?) and count backwards (Yea, I was 4 so.....) I was in a children's recovery ward, and everyone but me was sick from the anesthesia and they all got ice cream, later, but since I didn't get sick, I got nothing.

It's funny how clear that memory is, decades later.

Anyway, I've never been under a general anesthetic so who knows if I'd tolerate that like I do the twilight ones.
