Did you have alot of discomfort with the breathing tube being removed? I get bad panic attacks from anything being placed over my face. It is caused by my PTSD. Can they take it out before you wake up?

Karukgirl and I had mostly similar experiences. I was writing a message on my husband's palm- What time is it? I was awake and aware, it was deemed time for it to be removed. The nurse told me to cough and Voila! It was out! There was a slight feeling of soreness for a couple of days.
