you will wake up with the wrong leg operated on... then once the juice wears off, you will realize it wasn't only the wrong leg... it was amputated. And the worst part is, your *** feels really sore as well...















JK and good luck man!

Don't worry bro, you'll be fine! This is just something you gotta do. I had my spine fused from my shoulders to my waist when I was 15. Be happy, when I was on the table I was on my stomach and all I had on was the hospital gown

ive had 5 knee surgeries and my tonsils out and then emergency surgery cause they fucked it up. its no biggie, when the surgeon comes in to talk to you just tell him your very nervous, mine had a shot in his pocket and was like "oh no big deal, ill give you something to relax" goood stuff. when your on the table they have you count backward from 100. i remember 97. then i woke up. youll be ok. good luck!!!!

^^^^

they told me same thing.. injected the **** into my little drip tube things.... they immediately started rolling me across the hall to the operation room.. by the time i got from one door way to the next i was out.
i do remember though right when i got in there the doctor was asking me questions about what position i played in football and how i broke my collar bone (it was a very bad break) and i was talking to him, but he was not responding and i was getting VERY upset... i asked him why nobody was talking to me and he said all i was doing was making groaning and moaning sounds no words were being spoken! !!!

damn 5 knee surgeries? sounds like you need to give you knees some rest. To the OP getting surgery feels like if you just closed your eyes for a second and it will be over b4 you know it

I got a shot in my IV before they rolled me into the OR. I felt like I was floating on clouds before I got to the room. I was so out of it that I had no idea what was going on and I actually wacked the anesthesia mask away a few times before I was completely knocked out.
