I was totally awake and aware, just watching the clock above me until I finally lost it and broke down. Then they had the NERVE to tell my parents, who had been waiting for me to be brought up to ICU for 2 hours, that they had trouble waking me up !!!  I was so far beyond pain, that the nurses and drs weren't able to really get my pain under control for 2 days. 
But I'm all comfy in my bed now and doing well  |
That had to feel like an eternity for you!...It's to bad we as patients don't have a friend or relative right by are sides at
all times to speak up for us, write down names, times, med.'s and such concerning our care....the added stress you where under was so unnecessary, thankfully your home and in a comfortable place to recover....
