I had an endoscopy a few years ago and mom was there to drive me home. On the way home I asked mom how long until I could eat. She didn't remember what the doc said because I was talking to him. Apparently, the doc gave me the recovery instructions as I was waking up, and I kept saying ok.... but I didn't remember a word of it!
Same thing perry, I have very brief memories of my post-endoscopy time, though I was wide awake. I remember propelling my own wheelchair down the hall and being all over the place but I didn't want anyone to push me. I ran into some people at a restaurant on the way home I knew and when they told me about it the next day I had no memory of it.
I have never been put under since I got married but I'm taking a lesson out of this guy's book. If I'm ever put under, I'm gonna score me some sweet brownie points...
After my endoscopy I told the nurse to get out of the room so I could get dressed. After she shut the door I stood up, had one leg in my pants and fell head first into the door. I woke up a few minutes later with people standing over me. When I got home I called my boss 4 times telling him everything went ok. I don't remember that at all.
