I can't recall being wheeled from the operating room to the recovery room. I recall a hubbub of activity in recovery as I slipped from consciousness to unconsciousness. I think I recall being wheeled from recovery to my bedroom. Days become night in 2 and 3 minute flashes.
Nurses are everywhere.
I am woozy. No you can't have water for two more hours, but we can clean out your mouth with a small wet sponge. As the anesthesia wears off, I awake more often. I see a sign in front of me. On the wall, I think.
