It's scarier in theory than reality. I've only had minor surgeries (wisdom teeth out for example). But they put in an IV and tell you to count backwards from 100. You get to about 98 and the next thing you know you're waking up in recovery. You literally remember nothing, it's like a very, very deep sleep with no dreams. Then, done. So once you're through it you realize you were scared for no good reason, but if I had to do it again I'd still be nervous even knowing that! Just human nature
It sounds like it's not so bad from what you describe. I kinda remember a little bit of what my brother went through when he had his ACL and MCL reconstructed. His recovery wasn't fun as far as learning how to walk again. I imagine my surgery will probably be similar without the complicated recovery and rehab.
