Answer

Hm, that is a complicated turn of phrase. It means that the anesthesiologist thought she had already gained control of her muscles, but she was still a little bit paralyzed.

"But I guess he must have thought I was coming out of the paralytic more than I was [coming out of the paralytic] because he took the tube and pulled it out of my throat."
