    After i go under someone has to give me a push every now and then so i keep breathing - i normally breathe very slowly compared to other people, which translates into nearly stopping to breathe after anesthesia. Last time i had a mandatory 24 hour stay in the ICU due to the nature of the surgery, and the damn machinery next to me made a racket every now and then when my O2 levels dropped - which i ignored - and a nurse came by and gave me a push to get me conscious enough to continue breathing.

    I was also told that i chatted with them a few times, but i cannot remember that lol.

    (And i have to add i fucking HATE surgery in the beginning of the day, because that means i will be awake, uncomfortable and fucking bored without options to entertain myself all night.)
