I'd definitely ask about it, especially since you have abrasions.

And even if you were combative, don't worry. You certainly aren't responsible while "under the influence!"
I had a funny post-anesthesia story. I had a four-hour procedure under general anesthesia back in August. Later, back in the PACU, the anesthesiologist came by and asked, "Did you enjoy the concert?"
Confused, I said, "What??" I certainly didn't remember anything pretty much from the time I entered the o.r. until I woke up.
He said, "As we started the IV meds, you said you felt like you were at a Grateful Dead concert. And Dr thought that was a good idea. We had some Grateful Dead playing during the surgery."
Now that was interesting, because I don't even LIKE the Grateful Dead!
