I got to be put under general anaesthetic for my wisdom teeth, which was pretty cool. First they made me breath pure oxygen, and then they had me count down from 10 until i feel asleep from the injection (got to about 7-8 from what i can recall, heh).
Then I woke up from what felt like the fastest sleep ever, and felt more fresh after a sleep than ever before. It was only hours later when it started to get a tad painful. They had me on Tylenol 3 for a few days and i was bed ridden for those days, sleeping most of the time. My teeth were impacted, so i guess it was a particularly intrusive surgery or something.
I remember looking in the mirror while my cheeks were all chipmunked and recoiling in disgust. "Look away, i'm hideous!" =D
All in all it wasn't too bad of an experience though. The pain was definitely a tolerable pain (the medication helped, i'm sure). However, i got to get knocked out. I can imagine it would be a traumatizing experience to have them pulled only under local anaesthetic. I had my bicuspids pulled that way and it was a pretty awful thing for a 12 year old to endure. Get knocked out if you ask me.

Music is a mysterious thing. Sometimes it makes people remember things they do not expect. Many thoughts, feelings, memories... things almost forgotten... Regardless of whether the listener desires to remember or not.
