Abstract:I thought the last thing I would remember about my surgery was counting up to 10 .. but that didn't happen.. I could hear people talking, instruments banging, the sound of my heart beat coming from the anaesthetic machine and all of a sudden, that horrible pain digging inside my body. Oh my God! I thought. I'm awake! I tried to tell someone but no sound came out of my mouth. I tried to kick my legs, shake my arms, blink, breathe.. Nothing!! I couldn't move a muscle. I was paralysed and awake during my operation.. I thought I was going to die!!!
