“Under going [sic] anesthesia at any age is dangerous...”

Too true, at least for general anesthesia. My dad (a doctor) used to say that general anesthesia was “killing you just enough”.

I’d just as soon not have seen this story anyway, being 61 and scheduled for abdominal surgery in a couple of weeks.

"I’d just as soon not have seen this story anyway, being 61 and scheduled for abdominal surgery in a couple of weeks."

Prayers for a successful surgery, and a speedy recovery. I've had four abdominal surgeries since 2011. The last one was in October 2015, to have my gall bladder out. Because of the previous three surgeries, they couldn't do it by laser, but had to cut me open. I was 68 at the time, and couldn't help but worry about the outcome of the operation. My grandmother died on the operating table in a Canadian hospital back in 1946 from complications of gall bladder surgery. It still happens today. No surgery is ever safe. The only thing that has gotten me through it all has been prayers and trust in the Lord.

Prayers for you, but I'm sure you will be just fine.

I've been under general anesthesia about 11 times during my lifetime... I'm still here. :-)
