F the oxy, Dilaudid is the way to go. I even had some real cool hallucinations from that. shtein is STRONG!

munson is right; its a long nap, thats all - ive been under a few times, and i know it sounds very cliche, but each time i woke up when it was done, i asked them when they were going to start

The first time I had knee surgery, they put me under but I woke up for a minute while they were still operating.  I couldn't feel anything but I opened my eyes, saw the doc and his crew and then looked up and saw the inside of my knee on a tv monitor.  Then I went back to sleep and woke up in my room.

Only had morphine once and immediately understood junkies. Absolutely did not care about my broken hand or the still-bleeding surgical scars or the nausea. Didn't care. Everything was great. farging hell my body loves drugs.

I had Open Heart Surgery about 5 years ago. I was WASTED for 5 days. Woke up on dilaudid, worked down to morphine then oxy then perc.

Tomorrow is the day for my ankle surgery. This will be my first surgery and my first time going completely under anesthesia...I wonder how it'll feel. I hope it doesn't make me puke.

I had wrist surgery in 04. It was supposed to be like a 30 minute surgery and it ended up being like a 2 hour 30 minute surgery. They had to give me a lot of the anesthesia and I woke up puking for a few hours afterward. They gave me Percoset for the pain, also made me sick. I did, however, enjoy Vicodins...very much so.

Well I'm home in bed and my leg feels like it was run over by a train.

The last thing I remembered before surgery was them putting me on the table. Then I woke up in recovery. I'm still in a daze but it's wearing off and the pain sucks.

They gave me norco? Which i guess is like vicodin? I wished for something stronger.

A little disappointed there were no hot nurses there.

Had my knee scoped 5 weeks ago, the doc gave me 60 perc 10's. I'm sleeping better than I ever had in my whole life.

I must be the strange one.  When I had my back surgery (a microdiscechtomy), I was given morphine lollipops.  Tried one, and absolutely hated the way it made me feel.  Decided that a bit of extra pain was better than that feeling, and used nothing but tylenol and ibuprofen after that.

That's because you're a man.

I haven't been to a wedding in 5 years, what's the appropriate amount of $$$$ to give as a gift. It's for my second cousin, and we're not close.
