In a word,
fabulous. One of the
oddest, most
unique experiences that one can have in their life. Having absolutely no
knowledge of
what happened to you other than that it did happen is stupendous. The best experience with being anaesthetized was in my dentist's office, having my
wisdom teeth out. The
nurse put in an
IV, which was an interesting experience unto itself. Then, in a sweet voice that only someone who is totally disassociated from your
current situation can muster, she says, "I'm going to give you something to
relax you."
Ha! The first shot of
chemicals, whatever they are, make you feel amazing. Giddy and wonderful, all at once, 5 seconds after she pushes the plunger. Afterwards, she states that the real stuff is coming next and that you should start to count backwards in your head. By 80, you're unconcious. Black. You awaken to smiling faces with gauze in your mouth and the steady
beep of a heart
monitor in the background.
If you really like these
experiences, you should probably stay very very
far away from actual intravenous
drugs, because you are
susceptible to
addiction, moreso than
anyone else.
