You still remember the Operation Theater? The pungent smells
of the medicines as you are wheeled in the trolley bed. Fully aware of the surrounding,
looking around……..and thinking ahh the time has come. Will it be the last call?
Or just another day, you will wake up in 30 mins or so and simply walk out!
As the anesthetic goes inside the vein; you seem to feel
nothing. The smiling doc, the gloves, the bright lights, the nurses; well, all
seem to have their own role…except you: lying done….waiting for the inevitable
to take over.
You lost your consciousness…..or is it just a feeling. An
all-soothing sub consciousness……. You losing track of time, events everything
happening around you. A pure bliss….not a single thought, nothing to worry
about. They say people getting high on weeds: isn’t this more blissful. You can
feel your surroundings, you can feel as if you are traversing through a dream:
a Utopian dream, nothing to worry about: just enjoying the moment. Or is it
just like those imageries they show on tv while a person is unconscious.
Whatever it is, how long it is…….. it continues on and on…..a
never ending journey…..travelling through the thin air…….and perhaps you want
it to go on without an end. You trying to hold on to a particular face? A particular
thought? A particular memory? Nope……..nothing is there to hold back…..everything
seems to pass by like those tree lines you fell behind the windows from a moving
super-fast train.
Come on! It’s over…….The feel good is giving its way to
dizziness slowly……… you can feel the lights of the room…..very hazy. Someone’s
moving you on a trolley….you feel the movement but is too naive to move your
hand even. What’s happening……. You can’t sit up; your head seemed to weigh a
ton…….going in topsy-turvy. The leg…the toe….seemed to be planted to the bed…..why
the hell I can’t move those!
What’s wrong? Your brain in working…..but you seemed to have
lost control over your limbs! Is everything ok? Or………………………………………………………………….
………………………………………………………..
It’s Ok mate. Just
the residual effect of the anesthetics.
Welcome back to the
bad, ugly real world.
