Don’t worry about being put to sleep.. The anaesthetists are so hilarious,( at Fitzroy) one kept saying to me “oh, don’t worry about iiit!”, very laid back:)and the other had his hair in dreadlocks 🙂 both in their late 40s-50s. One was distracting me by making small talk and the other put a little catheter in my hand. It was a little scratch. Uncomfortable but not bad.Then he said he’s putting painkillers in, then he said I will go to sleep in a minute and it will feel cold. It felt like someone was running an ice pack up my arm. Then I was out:) it was seconds.
I had two surgeries so maybe that’s why I needed 2 of them..so if you have one, don’t worry.
