@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.

@lacy2 Yes a brave face is what we put on for sure. I did this at home with my family and grown kids. No worries I will be fine it’s a quick surgery and i will be home. But inside I was like omg i just need to wake up from surgery and go home I want to be there for the weddings and grandkids. Really This is what people think. It’s scary having someone else be in control of your body. I made it through and I hope this will also help someone going through this.
Take care all.
