Really don’t worry about it, I put cannulas in everyday at work. All you will feel is a small prick/scratch then all that is left in is a tiny flexible plastic tube (the needle is removed) They will cover it with a dressing and you shouldn’t feel anything at all once its in. Also remember the nurses that put these do it everyday so you are in great hands and should be fine. If you keep your hands warm & wrapped up it will bring the veins to the surface and make it even easier for them to pop it in too. Maybe wear some gloves before you go down to theatre? Anyway when you wake up it will be the last thing you think about as all you will think is ….BOOBIES! Good luck x
