my reply was, 'no problem, i got this!'

one hundred, ninety nine, ninety ei..... annnnnd out!

the next thing i knew i was in recovery, where i promptly threw up 3 times! nice!
I went under once and they did the same thing, count backwards from 100 and I got to maybe 98, and the nurse said that the first thing that I did when I woke up was start counting down from 98.

i will say that I never felt rested or like I'd had a good sleep after surgery.
