Friday 13th - We have Lift-off!

I remember being wheeled through the doors and glancing over at my doctor and his team getting ready. By now I was flat on my back. I have a vague recollection of being moved from the wheely bed to a harder surface (I didn't have to do anything) and seeing the big round lights above my head. They looked just like the ones you have for hospital playmobile or lego. I don't remember being talked to, asked my name, counting backwards or anything like that. I must have been out pretty quickly. My irrational fear of being 'aware' during surgery didn't happen.
