And it was so happy that I started crying. And one of the surgeons saw the tears and thought that I could feel the surgery, but I was numb. And so he said, she's in pain, she's in pain.

And I wanted to quiz him. And he said, what happened in there? And I sort of told him and he said, I went to increase the medication and a voice said to me, don't do that. She's crying because she's happy. And he was just pale because he thought he'd done the wrong thing. And he said, did I do something horrible? I was like, no, no.
