This is a great explanation. Thank you very much.
@stevetaylor721 May I also add, that you need to find out the exact combination of anesthetics and all pre-anesthesia drugs you were given, provide the information to all the other docs you see, and make sure you never get that combination again. After an unfortunate experience with anesthesia nearly 50 years ago, they were unable to keep me awake for more than a minute at a time for 24 hours after a 30 minute operation, and I still have total amnesia about the entire 48 hour episode. It was the anesthesiologist who figured out exactly what went wrong.

Thanks for the reply! I was able to finally obtain my surgical records, though they really, really didn’t want to give them to me for some reason. I do have the anesthesia report in the records with the drugs and dosages. I totally agree with you about ensuring I never get that combination of drugs. I’m no expert but to me it sure seems like they loaded me up with a lot of different stuff! I am sorry to hear about your bad surgical experience and I hope that you made a full recovery with no lasting ill effects!
