Hole in my Heart - anesthesia

[Guest guest]

Rita,

While I am so sorry about your heart, I am at relieved you apparently

got good medical care and attention. I know all too well surgery can be

frightening. Two years ago I had major back surgery. I met with the

anestheologist before hand, we discussed CMT, any allergies I might

have, and my questions. I was put to sleep by injection in my arm. 4

hours later the surgeon was by my side when I woke up, said " I'm done "

and I was very awake. No nausea or anything else. Here's some resources

on CMT and Anesthesia for you - you can print them and take to the

anestheologist if you need to. I wish you all the best, hope you will

let us know when your surgery is. ~ G
