list of things i've come to dislike about surgery:
- the IV. especially in the hand. especially when i have to be poked more than once.
- having to take off my glasses before walking to the OR.. because i can't really see anything, including the people working on me.
- how incredibly chilly the OR is. i mean, i understand why, but it's freezing! and all i get is this little gown and a robe i can't even keep on!
- being strapped down to the OR table. yes, i get it, but it always feels a bit odd.
- feeling like i have no control over when i go under. every time i've had anesthesia, i have this weird thought in my head that it won't work, and then... nothing.
- waking up later, as if from sleep, and realizing there's a chunk of my life that's missing. and the fact that things were being done to my body, and what those things were, i have no idea. probably for the best.
- recovery. "taking it easy" is not an easy thing to do.
