OMG!!!!
You poor thing!!! This is such a
HUGE fear of mine!!!
I had major eye surgery (I had a Detached Retina) back in Nov. of 2006 and I was TERRIFIED of waking up during surgery! Granted that was my very FIRST surgery ever, but OMG was I ever SCARED. I actually CRIED right before they wheeled me back there because I was absolutely mortified - I seriously thought I was going to wake up and feel something and it scared the tar out of me!! I think they actually have to remove your eyeball during this surgery (UGH!!!! YUCK!!) and all I kept imagining was waking up
That alone probably would have killed me lol. I kept telling the anesthesiologist to give me as many meds as he possibly could without killing me LOL!!! He so laughed at that
I swear I told him that a million times
He kept telling me jokes to try and make me laugh and get me to relax. Gosh they were all so totally wonderful up there. However, I was just scared out of my mind I cannot even tell you. Thank God all went well and I didn't wake up (actually, they had a hard time GETTING me to wake up because I was so darn out of it LOL - I guess he really DID give me as much medication as he possibly could LOL!!!)...I never felt a thing though, praise God!
