I had my BA yesterday and was scared the week leading up to it as never been put to sleep before, I thought I was going to be an emotional wreck yesterday morning but surprisingly I was very calm! I found this forum very useful so just wanted to reassure any other girls who might be a bit nervous that it’s all fine.
I had to be there at 7am and was walking to theatre just before 8. The last thing I remember is the anethetist saying you might feel something cold running down your arm and I said I can’t feel anything yet.
The next minute I was waking up in recovery at 9.50 and had had the best sleep ever! Apparently op was finished by 9.20.
I wasn’t in any pain at all yesterday, just tight across my chest as I have a bra and 2 other binder things on which I can’t take off for 1 week!
So everything was fine until I tried to sleep last night… was advised to sleep on my back and slightly upright for 2 weeks, I’m used to sleeping on my side, so thought this might be a problem but didn’t appreciate just how uncomfortable it would be! I had about 8 different pillows propping me up but didn’t get hardly any sleep as had pain in my lower back.
Has anyone got any tips for getting comfortable? Xx
