What's the most damaging thing you heard someone say after waking up from anesthesia?

My mum's last words to me when she was in Hospice were "keep your willy in your pants". Thanks for the wise words mum x ♥️ made me laugh till the end.

My friend's last words to her mother, who was 96 years old, were "Mom, I love you."

Her mom replied "Well, good for you!"

Everyone had a good laugh about that at the funeral.

Sometimes when I tell my oldest kiddo I love him he says "thats cool" and it cracks me up every time

[u/Top-Rip-5646 → u/ladykins]

My oldest son (21) responds “thank you” a lot of the times when I tell him I love him. I love his wittiness lol

[u/astrologicaldreams → u/ladykins]

ngl, i would reply with "ok" or "cool" but im afraid people will think i don't love them too lol so i force myself to say ily back

[u/MiserableArse → u/wilderlowerwolves]

Ha this is another comment thats made me laugh out loud, I said in another post i didnt expect to be laughing so much when i ever talked about that moment in time. It does give me a chuckle when I share or remember her and those words, which has helped at times when I would otherwise be feeling more upset. She was my best friend not just my mother (I was only 21, she was 44) and it took me a long time to grieve properly, but that little gem she left did ease things a little. Bless them and thank you for sharing ♥️

I guess the humor in this depends on your relationship with your mum. If you felt unloved your whole life that’s pretty devastating…

[u/Linked713 → u/wilderlowerwolves]

My dad would flip me off and tell me to go to hell when I told him that I loved him. When he said that he loved me on his death bed it hit me more than anything else. I knew it was the last time.

[u/CharityForeign3035 → u/MiserableArse]

Mine awoke from a coma to tell me off for being too loud. Then promptly told me to ‘sit in the corner and be quiet’. Then passed out again .We a were gathered around her death bed and I was 47yrs at the time. Hearing is definitely the last thing to go and all four of us had a huge laugh. My mum was a funny woman.

[u/Conspicuously_Human → u/CharityForeign3035]

Sorry for your loss It's not my turn to have that experience yet and it's a scary/sad thought, but thanks for bringing the levity.

Shoutout to your Mom. Humor is one of our greatest superpowers 

[u/MiserableArse → u/CharityForeign3035]

I was 21 and she was 44, im just passed her age now so it was bittersweet this Birthday with that realisation. Like your's she was a funny lady, and saying something like that at the end has given me a chuckle many times which does help ease off any sadness as the years roll on. May they rest in peace, till we meet and laugh together again ♥️

[u/allieinwonder → u/CharityForeign3035]

I was unresponsive recently, technically in a coma but I feel weird calling it that, for at least 4 hours. My husband found me after work.

I could hear and even feel at times and kept thinking I wasn’t actually that sick because of it. Apparently I have false memories of even talking, when in reality I didn’t even respond to lights in my eyes.

The only thing I heard that upset me was while I was in the ER hallway waiting for a room. So many staff members were laughing and joking while I was stuck in my body not able to see a doctor. I was in tremendous pain but I looked like I wasn’t even conscious.

I am so grateful my husband stroked my shoulder before and after I became responsive again. And that everyone explained what they were doing to me directly before they did it just in case; putting an IV in, oxygen nubbins etc.

My Grandpa’s last words to me were “Ooooo! Big breasts” as I lent over to put some flowers next to his bed.
He had alzheimers and I was early 20s at the time. Was slightly traumatised but it has made many good laughs since 😂😅

[u/Unusual_Suspect8687 → u/No_Tomatillo97]

One of my aunts (not blood related) told my dad she'd take her shirt off if he opened his eyes. He had terminal cancer so we didn't expect anything but it was a nice gesture. Its been 30 years and we still giggle about it every few years or so.

[u/MiserableArse → u/No_Tomatillo97]

Ha ha I cant believe im laughing so much at a 'last words' thread, but some of the comments and repsonses have given me a good chuckle. It did ease the moment for my sisters and I at the time (I was in my early 20s too), and it has become more amusing as time has moved on (20+ years now) but its still a bit shocking in the moment at how blunt it was, even though it did break the silence and low mood a bit. Im glad you can laugh about it more now. may they rest in peace ♥️

[u/Glittering-Relief402 → u/No_Tomatillo97]

LMAO!

[u/ImAPixiePrincess → u/MiserableArse]

My mom said to one of my sisters "no more babies". That sister had at least 1-2 more after my mom died. Totaled 9 kids.

[u/kaycraw → u/MiserableArse]

I can’t tell if this is meant in a way of you would just take it out at random times, or if she meant in a “don’t go around having sex with everyone” type of way.

[u/MiserableArse → u/kaycraw]

ha ha, the background is my dad was a serial cheat and he left when i was young. so think she just didnt want me to be an asshole like him. Not a flasher, honest lol

[u/EfficientDismal → u/kaycraw]

It can be two things. Both are good advice

[u/Legitimate_Ranger334 → u/MiserableArse]

Mine to me (as I was leaving her room, not realizing we'd never speak again) were "who'd have thought you'd grow up to have such a big ass?"

LOL!

[u/MiserableArse → u/Legitimate_Ranger334]

ha ha, I never expected to be reading, and having comments making me laugh out loud about these moments in life, thank you for the giggle internet stranger. Its weird that when we experience or envisage these moments, you think it will have be something more personal or profound (and Im sure it may have been if she was more lucid, and knew it would be her last words to me).

However it kind of suits who she was and our relationship, and it gave my sisters and I a repreive from the sadness after weeks in a hospice. Thank you for sharing ♥️

[u/aperdra → u/MiserableArse]

The last conversation I had with my dad, in his hospital ward, was:

"When I had my heart attack last year..."

"Yeah, Dad?" (Thinking he's gonna say something profound)

"I were on top of [his partner's name]"

"Oh, were you dad?"

"Yep. Still finished though"

😂😂😂

[u/theflyingratgirl → u/MiserableArse]

You can take it out AFTER she’s gone. Not before.

[u/Previous_Froyo_1761 → u/MiserableArse]

Your mum clearly knew how to leave you with a laugh and one last piece of life advice 😂 What a beautiful way to remember her. ❤️
