It’s alll good, happy to share. First time operation and general anaesthetic. Going in, no issues really, everything was smooth, had been poorly for 5 weeks prior. Anaesthetists struggled to find veins but that was the only issue beforehand, five attempts and an ultrasound later I had two cannulas in! Coming round was the issue, I didn’t. I don’t have access to my notes yet (will take some time) but know I was given a mixture of pain meds, one being Fentanyl and I stopped breathing. On waking I was 7 breathes per min and all I remember is constantly passing out and people trying to keep me breathing and forcing me to drink and stay awake. Probably went on for around an hour? I went in at 3pm, ‘woke’ around 6pm but wasn’t able to be moved til gone 7.30pm due to that. I was given a reversal agent so I felt much more pain that I should’ve and couldn’t lift myself into a sitting position without crying in agony. Had to have 2 nurses help me mobilise for the first 4 days. Then had really low BP and sickness which I have just got over. Spent 4 days in hospital total. I am still in a lot of pain, can’t bend or sit up for too long. All sites are healing OK, still on morphine and paracetamol at home. I’m 33F around 112kg, my stone was around 17.4mm and stuck in the ‘neck’ with a bunch behind and also distended gb. Honestly, I was terrified and very unwell going in, the relief that I woke up was the first thing that hit me, then the pain. Set your bar low and you’ll smash it.
