another eggcorn

I don't understand the two words as being "drastically different in meaning." As adjectives, they mean about the same thing, especially in the context of anesthesia.

  "druggy" for "groggy"--actually plucked from a real-time conversation
I was having a couple of hours ago with someone about two felines
recovering from post-neutering anesthesia

I am a bit hesitant to call it an eggcorn because there is such a
drastic difference between the two words, but it certainly fits the
definition.
