I’m just being silly

Best of luck Lucca, I hope all goes well.

All will be well Lucca. I had an operation recently with an epidural. I have no memory of anything the theatre. When you wake it will be finished and you will be doing your bit for us all as well as hopefully helping you too. Best wishes

It's natural to be anxious but you will be fine best wishes to you.

for your kindness and bravery Lucca then and hopefully afterwards

I have no more to add to the helpful and kind posts so far, Lucca, but send you good vibes for pleasant dreams, there will be a virtual hand hold from me too. Thank you for what you are doing.

I wish you all the luck in the world lucca I m opposite to you I love that ‘drifting off, a bit drunk’ feeling
Thinking of you and fingers crossed for a goo£ result

Best of luck Lucca you will be fine.

You're not alone, Lucca, I think a general anaesthetic is a worrying thing - perhaps it's the thought of not being in control?
However, anaesthetists and the nursing staff are always so kind and before you know it you'll be back in recovery.

I hope the results of the trial will help you and others

Thank you Lucca for taking part in thistrail. It is perfectly normal to feel anxious and you should tell the medical staff how you are feeling as they know how to put patients at ease.

Good luck for tomorrow Lucca - I hope and trust that everything goes well for you. You’re not being daft at all - just feeling vulnerable. I felt exactly the same when I had my BC surgery. Tell them how you’re feeling (they’ll want to know so they can reassure you). Thinking of you and sending positive thoughts and vibes x.

They will look after you, hold your hand and then you’ll be very relaxed and sleepy and won’t know a thing until you wake up and it’s all over. It’s a nice feeling and not frightening.

Good luck, thinking of you as ever.

I love going under general anaesthetic! I’ve had a few procedures over the years, and look forward to the quick, easy, blissful descent into sleep.

So do I!! I love it that as soon as you ‘go under’, you seem to immediately wake up again.
I’m sure everything will be fine for you Lucca.

Yes, you are being daft but...... understandably so. I'll be thinking of you. ??

Good Luck Lucca you are not being daft.
The last time I had to have a GA they gave me a cap to put on and I was shaking so much I couldn't do it.You are very brave taking part in a trial when you know how it will make you feel. If you have to do it again ask for something to calm you before hand.

Adding my best wishes too Lucca you will be FINE. You’ll be in good safe hands being monitored all through the procedure. Thank you for taking part in research to benefit others. x

Totally understandable to be apprehensive but I am sure they will do everything to reassure you. Best wishes for tomorrow

We will be virtually holding your hand if that doesnt sound too corny. ?

do what I do and ask the nurse to hold your hand....sounds daft but helps me.
be thinking of you.

Thinking of you.

Thank you everyone

All the best Lucca you’ll be fine x

You are certainly not being silly, most people are apprehensive about going into theatre and having a GA. But, just think how lucky we are that there is such a thing as GA! Last year I had to have an operation on my hand and this was carried out in theatre, but with a local anaesthetic; I would have much preferred to have been knocked out! Good luck for tomorrow

Huge good wishes to you for tomorrow. You're not silly, you are human. I fervently hope it all goes well. ?

Adding my best wishes. You will be in safe hands with a skilled team of health care workers. We will all be thinking of you!

All the best Lucca, you will be fine ... I always get apprehensive ... not many people don't ... God bless
