Hi, everyone, so, it's two weeks today, I had my first day back
at work after two weeks off and it went well.
Um, everything is healing up well
but I still got a bit to go.
Um, I'm going back for a six week appointment
with Dr. De Silva in September.
Um, so yeah, just wanted to reflect
on my whole experience for you. Today is my last video
um, and the whole experience been really positive
um, from my first consultation to the actual surgery itself.
When I initially went for the consultation,
I was a bit anxious about having sedation,
rather than a general anaesthetic.
But I'm really glad that I that I had that done instead.
Um, the reasons that were explained to me was one recovery.
Um, so, even after surgery you can leave pretty quickly
um, compared to general anaesthetic, also, in terms of recovery
after the surgery if you have general anaesthetic
um, because your blood pressure when you bought up
part of anaesthetic because your blood pressure spikes up
quickly, um, you get lots of bruising and swelling.
Whereas when I had sedation
I didn't, I didn't have that problem.
So there’s less likelihood of that happening.
I mean that I know everyone's different
but I had really minimal swelling and bruising
and it was really good.
Um, yeah, and just that whole experience went really well.
Um, the anaesthetist was really good
and I was just completely out during the sedation,
and I can't remember any of it.
And it was just a really comfortable procedure.
Um, and the recovery went, went really well. I mean, I know...
