Doped, or Just Dopey?

I can't say that I have ever seen or done anything amusing whilst doped up Bo. Although I am of course pretty dopey most of the time anyway! However, I just wanted to say how pleased I am that your friend is recovering now. I could dance a little Irish jig of happiness!

I've been dopey and I try to just go to bed and avoid making a fool of myself.

yes,it has happened to me,a few months back,i had to take a few stitches on my forehead and for that i had to take a local anaesthesia and painkillers,the condition of mine was similar to that of your friends and i have also seen other friends in various stages of recovery from anaesthesia.

I had a strong dose of Ibuprofen for a whiplash injury and couldn't walk in a straight line. I 'floated' off to bed with a silly smile on my face and dreamed that a close friend had been wrongly accused of a crime and was on trial in a court of law... all fairly normal except that the proceedings were taking place at the local theatre and all the officials were squirrels... a little judge squirrel complete with wig and gavel... all the little barrister squirrels...and the police officer squirrels....

Thanks bo for letting me know since I had no clue about our Irish red head. You are such a good friend. If you can't be dopey when you are in pain then why bother I always say. How are you doing these days Bo? Hugssss leenie

I can say I have entertained surgeons while anesthetized. Apparently, I have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), which only rears it's ugly head when I am pre & post operative. one time, it took three burly security guys to wrastle me down after a colonoscopy. I remember NONE of it! thank gawd... So I now warn my surgical team that I specialize in anesthesia theatrics :) My mom starts radiation treatments next week, so maybe that will provide me with more medical humor. BTW, I'm STILL waiting for the valium promised in a separate post!

hi bohemianheart hatley here my you take me back to the time when I was 33 and had had a hysterectomy. I was so groggy when I woke from the surgery, and my hubby was there of course. well he asked me if I wanted to see my mom and sis since they were waiting in the vistors lounge. well doped up like I was I thought he said would I like to get in a wheelchair and go out to the vistors lounge. I loudly and vehemently yelled, No Im too sleepy. cant ride. go away. well my hubby having worked as an orderly for years realized I was just not working on all four cylinders yet. He went out and told my mom and sis that I was not really awake enough yet to visit. they were ticked off, and the next day he came and i was awake alert and complaining about my mom and my sister not coming to see me. He laughed and told me how I hAd told him I didnt want to see anyone. He admitted he had also told my mom I didnt want to see anyone. that had sort of ticked her off. but when I explained how groggy and confused I was she got over it and laughed at the whole thing;.I loved my mom and in my lucid mind would never have said I didnt want to see her.
