As a retired CRNA, you'll be fine! Perhaps, your surgeon should have given you a calming medication for your anxiety. Maybe they underestimated your mood pre-op. Let us know how you did.

Thank you. I think the most worrisome part of all of it is
I just want to be alive! I want to wake up …thats all and it
Is always worrisome to be put. Under when you’re over 50. I had a superb team of professionals and they took the utmost care of me front beginning to end. Now its time to heal. Take care of yourselfl

@boecam Oh hi Boe... after i posted quick comment I thought the same thing....before I had goiter and half thyroid removed I did ask for something to calm my nerves... forget what they gave me .... but it calmed me so much I fell asleep ! True.. but I agree and I think we all put on a brave face... some calming meds should always be offered and not only when patient asks for it? J.
