This past January, I had surgery on a badly broken ankle to screw in metal plates. Post surgery, I was back in my ward and heavily sedated from the anasethesia and morphine. I heard the command, "Hit the dirt!" It was probably from someone's TV. I stood up in my bed, new cast, IVs and all, and dove off the bed sliding as far as I could along the floor. I broke my wrist in the process.
My question is about whether or trauma brain is put to sleep during surgery and recovery or not.
