You wake up thinking um, what just happened and where am I?
I had 4 surgeries after my TBI (craniotomy, ORIF pelvis fracture repair, pulmonary embolism, IVC filter replacement). No memory whatsoever of any of them.
Based on your recovery progress thus far I'm sure you will do great.
Best to you.

Thanks to everyone for the tips! Just in case anyone was curious, just wanted to let everyone know I was discharged post-cranioplasty today. Spent two nights and they were actually just fine. Was told by the doctor that the cerebral contour is back to normal and that there's no mass effect, midline shift, or bleeding anymore. Great news!
As you said, lightrail, didn't remember anything. Once I woke up one of the residents told me "you did a great job buddy" and that's the first thing I remember. Told him I didn't help at all, but it was good not to remember anything else!
Really enjoy reading these forums, feel like I'm learning a lot!
