I had general anesthetic on Monday when I had knee surgery to replace a torn ACL (and debride torn meniscus).

I am too groggy to post much about my experience but I had both good and bad experiences with anesthesia and recovery.

Link, my thoughts are very much with you. I am just starting to deal with crutches.

I don't know how much my OSA affected my experience with anesthesia and recovery. The short version is I am having a very tough time recovering. The pain is OK (I have Percocet) - the nausea and fatigue is very overwhelming.
