Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!

      Do not try to deceive or scare the Post Op nurse. They have powers you’d happily avoid.

      That’s not how anesthesia works. It’s not like waking up from a light sleep and keeping your eyes closed.

          I’ve been with a number of people as they came out of anesthesia and they were “awake” and talking before they were really conscious of it. Same experience with my own surgeries; I have no recollection of eating a popsicle but apparently I did and tried to share it with the whole nursing staff.

          I think your friend is full of shit.

          You’d be lucky to even have the consciousness of knowing the surgery was already done let alone what just happened to even plan such a prank.
