Sorry if this does fit here, or make sense couldn’t find an ask docs community with my tired 1am brain.

Just had cosmetic surgery yesterday and wondering what the typical time is for remembering things. Also if you could add when you felt you could function (sit up without feeling dizzy, think straight, text anything but gibberish) again. Thanks in advance!

    For context this was my first surgery. From what I know, I was finished surgery around 3pm (haven’t gotten a chance to ask my caregiver theexact time yet as it’s 1am) and only started to remember things around 7 or 8 pm that night. I was also still very dizzy/out of it and texted my caregiver gibberish that weren’t even typos just random strings of letters. I could not sit up or walk by myself either. Now at 1 am I finally feel more normal. Starting to worry if o had an averse reaction to the anesthetic!
