RE: Anesthesia

in #anesthesia2 years ago

What a very weird experience, and having a baby out of all things. Do you think maybe subconsciously you're yearning for a baby or it has something to do with the past.

I've only had a very minor surgery once where I had full anaesthetic, I remember the doctor telling me to count down from 100, I can only remember getting to 97 or 96, and have vague memories of the moment I woke up, but that's it.

Wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery

I wonder if there was a baby crying in another part of recovery. What was really interesting as well, was that the reasonable side of my brain knew I had not had a baby. I can’t have a baby. Those days are over. Yet, my mind couldn’t move away from the attachment to the belief that I actually had a baby. I couldn’t get my brain to move into the critical thinking side. I was kind of excusing it, like, no, I’m pretty sure I had a baby. It was if the critical side of my brain had turned into the lie. I’m very curious to know what is happening in the brain system during this.

This anesthesia was through my IV. The anesthesiologist put oxygen on my nose/mouth and I felt the anesthesia go in. The room started fading and my mind tried for a second to fight it, and then I was out. I awakened in recovery thinking I’d just given birth.

Fascinating mind science. 🤔

The brain really does weird things, even the doctors have problems understanding it all.

And I guess that's why it drives creativity. Your artwork is amazing, you should share them on Hive, there are some art communities here where I'm sure you'd meet like minded people and get support if you're more active on the chain 🙃

Thank you very much! 🙌🏻
