I was going to say the same thing! You don't remember anything.....except Dr. Joel. Hmmmm......

Do not worry about not remembering anything. The body is a wonderful thing and it knows how to protect us when we need it most. My dad was in the hospital for an entire month before he was able to come home, and all he remembers are the last 2 days or so. The mind blocks out that which it doesn't want to remember, and as you can see by the conversations you don't remember having you were in a lot of pain and that is not necessarily something you want to remember! I do know they also have drugs that let you function quite normally, but block your memory, so it was either your mind protecting itself.....or it was the drugs.

As for being sleepy, again, it may be the drugs, but I think it's mostly your body telling you it needs to rest. The body needs to rest in order to heal more quickly so if you're tired and need a nap, don't fight it. Instead, snuggle with little Dr. Pete and dream he is Dr. Joel.

Please give smoochies to Max for me for being such a good nurse.
