Also, be aware that you might wake up slightly before your body does. When I first came to it was hard to breathe, because the anesthesia was still keeping my body a little frozen. It scared the heck out me. Just so happens to is as soon as I was fully aware to relieve my pain they gave me a bit of morphine. Unbeknownst at the time, I'm allergic to morphine. My body went into shock and I couldn't breath. Unfortunately since I couldn't breathe earlier they thought it was the same thing at first, so they hesitated, but then some one noticed hives that sprouted all over my body and realized I was going into anaphylactic shock from the morphine. They gave me a mega dose of Benadryl and decided not to let me go home and keep me on for the night. The only way they new I was conscious the hole time was the nurse was holding my hand and she told me to keep squeezing it while all my focus was on trying to breath. When the Benadryl kicked in and I open my eyes I was surrounded with ten doctors and nurses all looking at me. I laughed from the sight and then they all laughed from relief that I was okay. So moral of the story is... It's not that bad it was scary but survivable. Make sure you trust your doctors and nurses; you literally put your life in their hands. And don't make any plans for the night, you might not be able to go on that hot date.
