Information on twilight sleep?
Question:
Answers:
You will probably be sedated with Versed. Twilight sleep is also called conscious sedation. I've had it a number of times. I mostly can't remember anything about the procedure, just bits and pieces. You feel like you've been asleep. It is a nice sensation. When the medication is infused through an IV, you just feel relaxed and drowsy. The next thing you know is that the procedure is over and you are waking up. You will dream. Once you are awake, you feel entirely normal. Good luck.
It is one of the coolest things I've ever experienced! The first thing I felt was giggly, and I was just laughing at everything. I announced to everyone in the room that the anesthesiologist was my new best friend and told everyone to have a blast of the happy juice. I heard my doctor talk to the nurses about his daughters, but I did not feel him working on me (I had wrist surgery...torn ligaments). I don't know if I fell asleep or not, but I remember towards the end of the procedure that I told my doctor that he was cute and I wanted to run barefoot thru his hairy chest (oh yes I did! LOL! good thing he has a GREAT sense of humor!!). Ah yes, I enjoy twilight sleep!! *woo hoo*
