Re: rough time
Good luck @outlander . Hopefully this will ease much pain and anxiety once it’s all over. Sometimes these experiences, although really hard help build resilience and reduce anxiety.
For me it’s always a bit scary at first with unknowns but then it gets easier I think as we get used to surgery.
Really hoping for the best outcome tomorrow @outlander. 💜🤗

Re: rough time
It's a bit warm here for a hot drink @outlander but I need to take some meds so I'll have a pear juice with you.
You will only need your Medicare card and healthcare card (if you have one) so you don't need to take your wallet. Just your phone. Yes, they will lock it up for you and give it back when you are awake.
How long is your surgery, or have they given you some indication? It's no usually more than an hour give or take. And then you'll be in recovery until you're properly awake, had something to drink and eat and peed. You won't remember or feel anything after they have put an IV in your hand and given you anaesthestic. The only thing that will hurt a little will be the Dr putting in the IV. Your mouth probably won't hurt for some hours as they'll give you a local anaesthestic. You'll just have to be careful with anything hot because your mouth will be numb so you won't feel being burnt. But they will give you instructions on what to do after the surgery. I had my wisdom teeth many years ago with light sedation. You'll be just fine.

Re: rough time
Never had pear juice before @Sans911 but sounds interesting. Care for a tim tam or mint biscuit?
They want all my current medications as well so i gathered they could lock things up for me
They didn't say how long it would take they just gave me list if to do/not to do and list to bring with me and where to check in. Thats it.
Thats partly why i had hoped to go to pre-admissions as i couldve asked all these while i was there .
6 teeth seems like alot 😬 but better then being in pain.
Thanks for explaining that for me, god i hate nee-dles. One of my worst fears.

Re: rough time
Lol @MDT i dont watch goggle box much. Once you've seen a few eps it seems youve pretty much seem them all.
Mystery diners is where mangers of companies hires undecover investigators to explore their issues like loosing alot of money or something else. So they get cameras and mystery customers to test out what might be happening within their restaurants.

Re: rough time
Yeah I know it @outlander
I've seen one or two eps of it. Like I saw a Gordon Ramsay one I think. It was pretty good. I reckon it's a good way to learn about workers in your own company that's for sure.
Yeah my sister and I were talking about how crap goggle box is these days. No new people. Just the same. It's lame. Lol. Plus lots of them are pervs too.
Atm I am watching through a show called 8 out of 10 cats. It's British and it's topical humour. It's very clever. And funny. So a good break from the everyday.
I just spent 3 hrs in front of the xbox lol. Tomorrow I have some errands. Blood tests. Gym. Haircut too.
Anyway my friend. See you later. I hope it goes well tomorrow if I don't speak to you before then.
Goodnight mate 🙂
