I am met with the anaesthetist.

The anaesthetist talks through my worries about IV Sedation. I was instantly put at ease.

The nurse comes back to give me my gown to wear for the surgery.

The nurse then takes me into theatre where I am greeted by the surgeon. I then laid on the chair and was given the sedation.

Surgery takes place- very little of this I can remember.

The nurse takes me into the recovery room.

I then remember my partner cominf into the room and explaining he was going to get the car.

I have an ice pack on and feel sleepy. I was not in any pain and remember feeling very relaxed.
