When I had major surgery more than a few years ago, I was given morphine for some time following surgery. The next day (surgery was in the late afternoon) I was woozy but thought I was basically OK. Then, when I picked up the newspaper, while I could read and understand the headlines, I couldn't transform the words in the articles into any understandable sentence. I was kind of like a cognitive CuisineArt.

When I awoke the first time from a biopsy, my family was very upset to tell me I had Cancer, I fell back asleep and when I awoke they had to tell me again. By the 4th time, they were like "Yeah, you got cancer, now go back to sleep so we can watch tv."
