Awake during surgery...

Yikes. I would freak out if that happened to me especially if it had to do with my bones. I would probably pass back out after I realized I was awake lol.

I had a twilight sleep decades ago when I had foot surgery. It was my first surgery ever and my fears were either having to pee or waking up as they revved up the saw. Well, yep, I opened my eyes right as the saw went on and screamed "Is that the frickin saw???" Maybe I did pee myself, I don't remember, but the surgeon yelled "Knock her OUT!". No pain, but the sound was horrendous.

I think I'm more afraid no not waking up due to anesthesia problems. But I can't imagine waking up during surgery. Freaks me out just knowing it happens.

Years ago (back in the old days) when we had babies, you went to the hospital to have a baby, they knocked you out and you woke up with a baby.

I had went in to have my baby. In the delivery room, I woke up and heard the nurse saying "What are you doing?'... Doctor said, "She has her baby, I am done!" Nurse, "But there is another one in there!" Doctor, "No there isn't, I am done" and I was knocked out again...... I have always wondered if the nurse delivered the second twin...

I went through it and felt every single cut and tug. I thought I was screaming at them that I was awake and could feel it but they have a tube down your throat so of course no sound came out. I repeated the entire conversations the docs had, the 3 next operations they had to do etc. Those doctors had no clue of the pain I was in. When I reached the recovery room I went into shock and they almost lost me. This was 23 yrs ago and I still have nightmares and wake up sweaty from that ordeal, the doctor said I would always have them.
And to top it all I could have sued for a handsome sum, but didn't feel up to the trouble, was still too sick....lol. Can you imagine how rich I could be now....lol.
I've been operated 4 times since then and I was never afraid of a repeat, I knew they would be extra careful.

Wow, that would really freak me out. I'd have a long talk with that Doctor.

I was 5 when I had open heart surgery. I cannot even imagine the pain I would have went through had I woken up during THAT!
