I had surgery once, i was nervous myself. However I knew I had to get it done and I’d be better once it was over so I looked to the moment when I got put to sleep before surgery and the being better once I was finished. I was probably more nervous about the IV that had to be put in than I was the actual surgery part. being young and not knowing how being put to sleep worked, when I was in the bed and they had the IV hooked up, they put over my head ‘what i thought was a gas mask” but later found out it was just for oxygen. well, being young and not knowing better, I thought the mask was the stuff that would help me sleep so I took in a few VERY deep breaths and needless to say I don’t remember surgery at all. later I found out that that was just oxygen and the actually medicine to help me sleep was put in to the IV
