I have had 4 surgeries and quite a few trips to the hospital over the years. After my last surgery which was over 6 hrs long and in which I had the most pain with as well as the most side effects with I vowed I would never ever have major surgery again!!!!!!! I ended up being deadly allergic to Morphine and almost died because of it. My surgeries: Tonsils removed Hand surgery to remove Ganglion Cyst Second operation to remove same Cyst (It stayed away the second time) ACL Ligament Replacement in knee and pins put in

Yes, for surgeries, after having blood drawn and once after looking at a painless little IV in my hand. I wish I hadn't read Laralyn's post while I'm waiting for the appointment date for my first colonoscopy. That'll teach me!

Mocha, I hope your passing out in the hair salon was not due to a bad hair experience. Yes for surgeries and once for a little too rough neighborhood game of tag football.

Once during surgery. Twice from heat exhaustion (once at an amusement park after standing in line for 2 hours, and once at a Cleveland Indians game, lol). And once for being a dumb ass. Senior year in high school, car load of kids, I decide to go on the roof of the car and 'surf'. I fell off while travelling 30 m.p.h. or so, and crack my skull on the pavement. My brain went all tingly and everything went dark. Girlfriend driving the car stops, friends get out and they wake me up, stuff me in the back seat and we get outta there. Get pulled over by the cops who said a neighbor called about some kids riding on the outside of the car. "Uh, not us, officer!" Next stop: emergency room, lol. I haven't been normal since. I was under 18 so I had to call my dad. I lied to him that I was goofing around in a parking lot and was running backwards and tripped and fell over a cement parking barrier thingy. Sorry for fibbing, Dad! Sometimes I can't believe I'm still alive.

Mak1, sorry...This did not happen to anyone else while i was there, everyone else was sleeping, or kind of groggy. Think I would rather experience the pain than have something wrong and not catch it early on. Also I seem to need higher doses of any kind of medication....dunno why.... So, please continue on.....it is a very important life saving procedure

Wow about the colonoscopy, Laralyn.. I had sigmoidoscopies with no anesthetic and luckily had a very experienced doctor for them. The colonscopy was a joy compared though.. I remember them pushing the plunger for the second part of the anesthetic and the next then I realized I was back in recovery. Mak, honestly most people have very pleasant experiences and a nice nap after being driven home, too. I tolerated the stuff they gave me for my knee surgery (ACL replacement, bone graft and a biodegradable screw) very well, too. I feel fortunate. The ether, for the tonsils, when I was seven.. that was brutal.

Thanks, Lara and Sea, I know I'll be a nervous wreck about it if I let myself. I once had a biopsy in my mouth. The anesthesia didn't work, and Lara's story brought back that painful memory. (Doc barged ahead. I got through it, then fainted.)

yes - just once, when i was building a house and acting as my own general contractor. there had been a lot of thefts of building materials in the area. so, my now ex-husband and i spent the night after a large load had been delivered taking turns standing guard. it was during a hot muggy summer and lots of mosquitoes feasted on us.

Does "spent the night" mean sleeping, driving or otherwise engaged? Okay...my answer is yes.
