: some of the drugs they use for anesthesia are also paralytic drugs that immobilize the muscles - including the ones for breathing. a bit too much and you quit breathing and they have to put in the tube to breathe for you until they counteract the drug that you got a bit too much of. normally, you dont quit breathing, the drug just suppresses normal respirations some, so they "support" breathing with a machine, and youre fine as soon as the drugs wear off. that's my understanding of the anesthesia thing... if it explains anything for you..

Thanks for explaining. Just was wondering if anything else might have happened during the procedure. I lived and will survive. Just the reminder of that tube leaving my throat so sore was very unpleasant. On with my third margarita. No CT self pity tonight..It's party time, lol....Melani
