Once upon a time, Francesca a.k.a. the princess type person who played a friend of the friend of God on TV told a fun story about her crazy mother and her gift of a trampoline. :lol:

Said story is told in the top video at the media type link.
A trampoline in the livingroom would be ace.
Making an atomic trampoline.

This guy is playing with scary beryllium and stuff. :lol:

My mom just had heart ablation surgery and her doctor said it went perfectly. It’s always scary when people you love go under the knife, so I’m very relieved it all went well.

Aww great news :D very scary indeed. I've had GA 3 times the first time I was at uni and it didn't faze me at all. Second time was emergency and like crazy fast and no time to think. But the last time, OMG, the fear. I was so scared that I'd die and never see my kids again even though I knew it wasn't a serious op. I think having kids makes it all more terrifying. I have reactions to anaesthesia so that worried me too. I think the older we get the more nervous we get.

Any way, great news. I hope she recovers well.

I’ve never been under, the idea of it really freaks me out lol. That you just teleport in time however many hours in the blink of an eye unnaturally is creepy. But more so the idea that if you die, you’ll transition to that state without any awareness. If I have a scheduled surgery I’m definitely taking benzos to deal with the anxiety.

Imagine going under one second and then being greeted by dead Mormon missionaries in the spirit world the next :lol:

That's very good news! Assuming she did so for heart arrhythmia. Hope whatever issue it was that this solves the problem nicely!

If it helps anything, I've technically died well over 20 times from having electrical cardioversion--heart shock to correct heart arrhythmia I get sporadically. They put you under with propofol. Propofol is the absolute bomb!

Funny I never thought of being greeted by dead Mormon misshies. Yikes! :lol:

Yep, she’s been having a-fib episodes for a decade or so. Recently they had to give her amnio(sp?) for the first time, and I think it has lots of side effects including fatigue. So her cardiologist recommended this as a way to get off most of her arrhythmia medications and remain on blood thinners only.

I don't know, I perceived the passing of time, although, not the entire length of time. And I also remember dreaming once and tried to tell them I was dreaming when I woke up. It's a bit like when you go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning. I think what happens is that you forget, rather than you don't experience. Memory after can be a bit sketchy though. Haha, the last one I had, they took my pants off because my bladder wasn't working and gave me a catheter. You can't go home til you can empty your bladder but it wouldn't empty. Anyway, I didn't put my pants back on and I forgot I didn't have them on and forgot that I wasn't wearing a gown. I had a dressing gown on but it was open and I went to the toilet and the nurse giggled and I didn't think anything of it. It wasn't until I went to sit on the toilet that I realised I walked through the ward with nothing covering my bottom half. That was embarrassing. Thankfully it was the women's hospital lol.

I remember lots of dreams at night and I have EDS and most of my direct family are red heads so that could explain the sense that I recall it or I may well have created the memories upon waking. Who knows.
