I have been very fortunate. Each time I have had a procedure or surgery that required me to be put to sleep, I was put to sleep before I was intubated, and the tube was taken out before I woke up.
What hurt was when they removed the two drain tubes from my side, it felt like snakes slithering across my insides.

Wow, you’re lucky. I’ve had 3 surgeries and they never took the tube out before I woke up.
Agree that the removal of drain tubes is not a pleasant experience. You describe it well.
