Talk about being ignorant... this will set me apart....

Speaking of colonoscopies... or rather not but instead just the anesthesia - - - -

I have no idea how this works. When I ask about it I get elusive and enigmatic replies that could mean anything. I've had several colonoscopies and each time I was put to sleep. I remembered, remember, nothing about them... I'm out, then I'm awake.

Or am I? What I have been led to believe, intentionally or not, is that you aren't actually 'out' with the anesthesia used during a colonoscopy. It's "anesthesia-lite". You are actually awake, can talk to the nurses and doctors, but you do not remember it. When I asked if that meant you can feel the pain but just forget the pain I got no answer... or at least not an answer that made sense.

Could this be true? Are you fully aware of the misery you're going thru with this type of anesthesia but then forget all about it once it wears off?

Jaws, think I told you this before. I first saw Jaws at a drive-in movie theater... in a car with probably 9 or 10 people. It was cramped. During the scariest scene, you know what I'm talking about, the screams and panic inside my car nearly ripped the doors off the hinges. Normally I would have been traumatized... but, the young lady squeezed up against me in the car was really quite pretty... her reaction to that scene calmed my own terror considerably and I found it to be quite pleasurable. Thus, I remember that scene fondly. - JamesJM

  Perhaps I'm too blithe, but zombies and clowns don't scare me.
