I hope that you had a smooth recovery! How are things going for you now?

(And if you don't mind me asking: what did you have surgery for?)

And... While I didn't wake up screaming the only time I was under general one (though it wasn't an actual operation, they "just" had to use shock pads to stop a tachicardy attack. Yes, my heart somehow thought that 200 bpm were good), I kept speaking in English when I woke up.

The catch? I'm Italian. Living in Italy. The doctors were rather puzzled.

Especially since it took a while before I actually managed to finish a phrase in Italian without subconsciously switching to English halfway through.

As well as woken up before they were quite ready for me. Thankfully, they were done with the surgery proper, but it... surprised them. The screaming is because... well, I forget who told me that you can't feel the IV once it's in, but they lied. Waking up, feeling the painful squick = screaming "GET IT OUT GET IT OUT GET IT OUT!"
Yes, these were the same surgery, and they managed to re-under me before I could actually get my voice working the first time. I guess I made up for it the second time. ><

It is good that your surger-ing went well! And... cheers or condolences about the cars, depending on whether that was sarcastic or not. ^^

I remember pulling out my wisdom teeth with local anesthesia. All I heard was the sound of the tooth getting ripped straight outta my gum... weird noise, but I felt nothing.

The confusion was deliberate. :P But yeah, you had it right.

And thank you!

Don't really have much to comment on about the setting since this was a character piece. ^^; Glad to hear you enjoyed it, though.

Toes? Bah. I'm totes getting plastic surgery to taper my ears so I look like a hawt elf. :P

I stayed awake for getting my wisdom teeth pulled because I've got a bit of a fear of general anesthesia, so this'll be my first time. ^^;

And heh, teenage!Elanor was fun to write for. no I didn't pull similar stunts when I was younger what are you saying I might just have to do another story featuring her again next year.
