Survived oral surgery. I've never been under general anesthesia before. The whole thing really weirded me out. One second I'm talking to the nurse, the next second I'm whacked out of my head, half-awake with a mouthful of gauze. I woke up sobbing. I only remember this vaguely, but I apparently wept like a maniac for about half an hour after I woke up. Nurse said this was a fairly common side-effect of the anesthesia. According to my mother, I looked at her at some point and asked, "Why am I crying?" I'm currently chowing on my first semi-substantial food product since the surgery ... grits. Wheee. Must go lie down.
