Got confidence in your ortho cutter? You'll do fine, talk to the gas passer first, how experienced is he, etc. Any dental issues, etc for intubation concerns, etc. You know the drill.
You'll do fine, be thinking about you.

I do. and I know them all well. IV anesthetic, and nerve block from anesthesiologist et al on more research papers than he can count. Blocked me today so I can sleep. hand surgeon, for whom this is a routine procedure . ORIF distal radius. good nose and scrub too. I couldn't feel more cared for.

nurse, not nose

damn left hand

Well, a good nose comes in handy now and then, too.

Joining Mike in thinking about you as you are tended to tomorrow. You are one tough broad, Joan; you will do well. And your peeps will not let anything negative happen, especially not to you!

So sorry this happened.

definitely bugger.

enforced rest. However you have D and Moby and Elinor to care for you and the hope of Spring in the garden xx

Sabine,
I work with good people, whom I trust. That part doesn't worry me. I kept reliving the moment through the night.

I knew I needed some mental rest, but not like THIS. Elinor sat on my chest, pressed into my ear, and purred. Not much actual sleep last night.

I'm so sorry to read this, but also glad to know that you're surrounded by a caring team, including cats. They (the cats) will be delighted to have you at home. Every possible good wish for tomorrow.

RR,

You know how this goes. So much for spring gardening.
