Do you have a source of supplemental oxygen? It will really, really help burn off the lingering effects of that anesthesia. Depending on what and how much, and how long you were “under”, it could take three months on your own. But with a snort of OXY a couple times a day it will drop to one/two weeks. Over the recent years I’ve choked a confession out of two different quacks that anesthesia can permanently diminish mental acuity and they never, ever, talk about it willingly. I’ve seen it both ways in the family and with friends.

Best wishes for your recovery———

What they don't tell you is you are basically dead. They are keeping you alive while under. You are NOT sleeping. When you sleep you never lose the sense of "I" or "me". When you go under general you do lose it. This is why surgery takes so much of your energy.

I have to second OldWarBaby’s recommendation to acquire a source of supplemental oxygen.

Something convinced me to get a couple of this style oxygen concentrator
a couple years ago, when they were cheaper.
(Prep-er philosophy: Two is One, One is None.)

Limited-time deal: Oxygen Concentrator - Portable Oxygen Concentrator for Travel & Home Use... Amazon link: https://a.co/d/8XPyaBo

They served Dad and I well when we finally got Covid and saw our Blood Oxygen
% drop into the 80’s. They brought it right back up. A few minutes of extra
oxygen can chase the fuzziness away, and fire up all the cellular engines...
It can sometimes chase away migraines as well, depending upon what’s causing them.
