Little Girl Hit Hard by Anaesthesia Thinks She Has 'Two Thumbs on One Hand'

A little girl who had tonsillectomy in Osage Beach, Missouri, woke up very much under the spell of anaesthesia, with hilarious footage recorded on April 7 showing her hallucinating two thumbs on one hand. In the video, recorded by mom Lisa Shepard, the adorable AnaBeth can be seen staring at her hand in sheer terror. When asked, "What are you staring at?" by her mother, the then 7-year-old replies, "I have two thumbs on one hand," then elaborating that it was, in fact, "a pinky on a thumb." AnaBeth then proceeds to try and grab the imaginary extra digit, to the hilarity of her family. Shepard told Storyful that her daughter had to have tonsillectomy and her adenoids removed. "When she woke up she was talking weird stuff so I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to grab some good video to show in the future," she said. Shepard https://www.tiktok.com/@lisashepard0/video/7228023571237309739 later uploaded a follow-up video, which shows AnaBeth reacting to the footage.
