what are the immediate moments after jaw surgery like? are you very disorientated? are you in a lot of pain or is it somewhat okay?
depends on the patient. all patients react differently. some people say you don't remember when you go under or when you wake up, but i remembered all of it lol. the nurses were trying to wake me up from the recovery room and beaming lights into my eyes. they wanted to move me to my room and i wanted to as well but my eyes kept closing. at the same time one of the nurses was trying to use my hand to suction blood/saliva, and holding a mirror to my face which then i did NOT want to see. nurses were pretty pushy then.
definitely did not expect that lol. i just thought i would wake up in my room. i was in a lot of pain and really wanted the morphine, but said i couldnt have the button until was i fully awake.
i bet some people are reactive immediately in the recovery room, and are good to go to their room very quickly. i think it just depends on your chemistry and how much long you were under.
