Surgery day itself was fairly intense. The nurses woke me up about 5am to have a shower and get prepared. Then back to bed til around 8am at which point my bed was wheeled down to the pre-op room. From there I was reintroduced to the anaesthetists and taken into the theatre where I was transferred to the operating table. The anaesthetist gave me a shot of some kind of benzodiazapam which made everything significantly less nervewracking.
I don't remember being given the injection of anaesthetic but when I came to 4 or 5 hours later I was in the recovery room. For a wee while I was very confused and kept trying to sit up despite the various leads and lures attached to my head and arms.
Then they moved me to the high dependency unit for monitoring for a few days.
Thats a story for another day...
