gaylea,
As you may or may not know, I had a dialysis treatment before the surgery. During that time, the anesthesiologist came to visit me. He explained to me exactly what he would be doing to me before and during the surgery. He asked me if I had any concerns or questions. My main concern was that I didn't want to feel anything, or be aware of anything. I just wanted to fall asleep, and then to wake up. He assured me that that was exactly what he was there to do. He added that I didn't need to worry about anything. And that is exactly what happened.
I have only a vague awareness of people moving around me and voices as I was waking. My favorite voice was my son saying, "Mom, you're not yellow!" The breathing tube was already gone.
I was amazed at how everything (liver and kidney transplant) seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.
