Guest guest Posted October 30, 1999 Report Share Posted October 30, 1999 Dee, I too have bailed out from surgery because of my fears and insecurities. However I did not give up and eventually had the operation I needed. I found that I needed to be medicated immediately after I signed the consent forms because my fears, however irrational they were, caused my judgment to be clouded. I talked with my surgeon and told him how afraid I was as a little child but that the adult in me knew I needed the operation. He agreed to the medication because otherwise I told him that I would literally be jumping up off the table. There is a solution for your concerns and you need to involve Dr. R in reaching that solution. in Kansas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 1999 Report Share Posted October 31, 1999 I don't understand something??? Always, when I have gone in for surgery, I was already asleep!!! Aren't you asleep when you go in for this surgery in Durham??? Catheter for bladder was inserted after I was asleep so I never knew anything!!! That's the way they do it here. Some of you girls that have already had your surgery, fill us in please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 1999 Report Share Posted October 31, 1999 Hi, Yes that's true. The foley was put in in the OR and out in recovery. I never knew I had one, which was great, cause that was one of my least favorite things. (c-section memories you know) I don't remember one single solitary thing about the OR. I vaguely remember being wheeled in and that's about it. They are very good at Durham!! The anesthetists are all super. You get a " little something " in your IV to relax you and make you forget all that stuff while you are in pre-op holding. Next thing I knew I was in My hospital bed and on the other side!

After that, nothing, until recovery and a really sweet nurse talking to me. Katy Musolino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 2, 1999 Report Share Posted November 2, 1999 I remember absolutely nothing from the time they gave me the versed in pre-op holding until they rolled me into my room.
