You hit what may be the key....from what I understand you usually wake up in the mood you went under in.
That being said, just before my heart surgery I decided it was time to go home.... I was drugged up. My nurse friend told me it took 5 nurses to lay on top of me cross wise to keep me down, with the doc in the corner of the room saying "ten more (whatever med)". She said I would have really enjoyed it if I was conscious and not on the verge of dieing.

lost a polyp during my colonoscopy and the nurses in the Recovery Room made me get up and shite through a strainer trying to find the damn thing.

About 6 years ago I went thru 7 surgeries in a 13 day span. Every time I woke up freezing cold and super thirsty.

I'm old, 52. Going for a colonoscopy next Thursday. Have never, been under. Very hesitant to do it, but had a 2nd cousin die from it last year
It's just the idea of something going up my butt, is hard to be justified in my mind. Gonna do it tho, wanna live.
Hopefully, I'!! just have sweet dreams, probably nightmares tho

when I was a teenager, I was in the recovery room and I was waking up and someone was playing with my junk.
But I was groggy and out of it. Told the dr. a next day had he was like WTF.

no, but my friend who took me to the hospital to have my kidney stone removed said that while i was in recovery I kept asking everyone if I had the "extension" done while they were down there. I don't recall that at all.

What's weird is waking up after what felt like 10 minutes of sleep, then you find out 2 hours had past...
Try waking up 13-1/2 hours later. It’s weird to think about. People went to work, and came home, while I was still being operated on.

I got a vasectomy and hernia repair the same morning. My wife had to leave to get the kids off to school, so my Mom came to be with me. As I’m coming out of the anesthesia, I hear the urologist telling my Mom that “y’all can resume relations in about two weeks.”
I wanted to go back under so bad. My Mom told the doctor, “I am his Mother!” Poor Guy was embarassed. Guess he thought we were from Alabama.

Everyone I know, including myself, who had a colonoscopy wasn't really put "under". They call it something like twilight or whatever. I talked to the doc a couple of times during the procedure, but really didn't realize what was going on. They keep you just barely under because it's such a short duration procedure and they want you awake and out of there when it's done. Wasn't unpleasant or painful. Doc complimented me on what a fine job I had done with the prep before he left. So I was awake quick.

My aunt brought me to one of my surgeries.
I woke up to see her frowning face. The nurse explained to me that I had a previous untreated break in my wrist that had to be fixed in addition to the recent break.
The surgery took almost 3 times as long as it was supposed to.

I very vaguely remember asking a nurse if she was religious and asking her to pray for me. This could’ve been right before or right after, I honestly don’t know.

really. you remember getting up to sit on the bedside commode?
Yes, I well remember it. I had hardly any poop in me, it was almost all liquid, but they kept pouring more liquids into me (orally and IV) and it kept coming out my bottom. BTW, the area around that missing polyp was found to be malignant and I had surgery just a few days later.
