Excellent point. I didn’t mean to demean that great strides that have been made in anaesthesia. I was especially appreciative of the fact that this was the first time I’ve ever been under a general anaesthesia without getting sick to my stomach.

In addition to the trauma, I think the morphine and demerol the nurse gave me while in recovery may have contributed to the hangover.

My wife is an anesthesiologist and she would be quick to tell you that the hangover was not from the anesthesia, but from the stress of having holes poked in your body and things moved around and yanked out. The anesthetics and drugs used today for anesthesia have very, very short half-lives.

Anyway, glad you are recovering.
