I think it’s easy for me to focus on the negatives here! For example, now that I’ve gone through with the op I still feel guilty about how much financially it has cost, I still need to be careful when the lifting etc and can’t just be climbed all over by my 2 young children.

To be honest I have no recollection of being put together sleep at all. I didn’t see a needle I don’t think and I didn’t feel one either. The anaesthetist is so good there’s really nothing to be worried about. Eek!
