The only problems I had was I guess I did and said things I would never say or do. I remember none of it plus about a year prior to being put to sleep. My Dr would only tell me I was funny but not mean. Life gies on and you do wonder what might have happened,. I was readied to be transfered to a long care facility the day I awoke and found my Dr beside my bed. Whew that was close.
