This is good to know. Thank you for replying. I’ll try and remember to bring this with me when I go in myself. I might need to read this several hundred times.
I had to have surgery on my wrist at the start of the year. Got a metal plate and 7 screws in there now. I was nervous as hell but once you’re in there, it’s a breeze. You realize that the tech and science there is always moving forward and surgery is so much less invasive now. I like to ask questions about things and try to chat with the nurses and other team members a bit as a distraction if needed. The surgery was 2 hours long and I was able to go home once the sedative wore off.
