Yeah, I didn't use that right. I meant I envy you for having the guts to go through so many.
I might. Sometimes the pain returns and it's so similar to the one before the surgery that it feels like that patch inside me just broke. Confusing, more than anything.

10 million credits and he can have it back ... :)
Yeah, I know this isn't Flood...
Point that was made here several times by not just me, but by other people as well, is that rebounding from a general anesthesia can and does vary depending upon the person, their physical condition prior to the surgery, and even their mental condition prior to the surgery.
Not to inject any fear here, but my wife is a nurse at a Veterans Home - which means that she has residents there that she cares for who are 90 years old plus. You get some cantankerous old guy that has a great zest for life, even if he's not really too healthy, and until something drastically happens to him (like they do a double amputation due to diabetes), he'll keep going in for surgeries and come out fine. You get someone else who's of the same age, and feels alone and unloved, and even if there's honestly nothing wrong with him, he goes in for surgery and just doesn't come out of it.
The fact that Pilgrim's grandmother is still alive and there for her husband, as is apparently a lot more members of the family, is a huge, huge benefit.

Thanks everyone for heads up, now it's just time to wait, but I am a bit calmer.
As my grandpa said before the surgery:
"If I have survived WW2, I will survive this too."
Oh and I had two general anesthesia's by the way.
First when I had intubation because my lung wasn't working. I almost died on this one cause I started throwing up in the middle and they had to pull it out of my lung before I chocked. I forgot to mention that the op was totally not necessary as we claimed to the docs all the time before.
I swear that was one of the worst waking ups in my life in not the worst, I had bruises all over my face not mentioning the feeling in my throat.
Second was when they were replacing tendons on my right leg. That was a professionally done op and except the terrible pain in it for next 2 weeks it went really great.
In both cases it took me just few hours to get knowledge of myself again.
I've been under aesthetic twice before, and will be again in a matter of months.
Waking up, I was pretty tired and disorientated, and slept for half a day, even after that there was nausea.
It does take time to fully go back to being 100% there after it, its normal.
It took me an about 4-5 days both times to completely shrug off the effects, and that was only small operations.
But, if there has been no improvement what so ever after 3-4 days, you should probably get a medical professionals advise on it, just to be on the safe side, even a doctor on Discovery wont be ideal to ask, as they aren't there to check everything that needs to be checked.
Doctors usually are pretty good, and there won't be a problem.
