my friend the anaesthesiologist says it usually gets better, but the older the patient is, the higher the chance there's permanent damage. -- nm - mafic Dec 22, 19:54 4
- She's 75-ish? Hallucinations etc have lasted the last few days, the surgery was exactly a week ago. Blurgh. - kelly Dec 22, 19:59 2
  - fwiw, he says it only persists past 3 months in about 10% of cases, and "virtually never" more than 6. - mafic Dec 22, 20:09
