day stay surgery turned into overnight stay why

Hi, sorry to hear you are anxious. By any chance do you live on your own? If so, you have to stay overnight because of the anaesthetic, and can’t be left by yourself. X

Thanks for your reply.I do live alone but my Son is going to stay overnight with me

I was booked for afternoon list day surgery. I chose to stay in as a precaution when I came back to watd

It sounds like they are following the rules then. You could tell them about your arrangements. I was glad I stayed in, but we are all different. 

Thanks for your reply, I’m probably freaked out for nothing but it’s the third time my plan has been changed.Did it make things easier for you staying overnight? 

That’s positive, it made things easier for you staying overnight? 

To be honest it was probably more disturbing as I didn't sleep brilliantly and the observations kept disturbing. However wasn't sure how I would.be after anaesthetic and my husband felt better with me staying in. 

I understand that, I’ve never slept well in hospital, hope you’re doing well now, think I’ll query it ,maybe it’ll help if I know why x

For me, it was definitely better. I had a mastectomy and axillary clearance at the same time and I slept a lot after being brought back onto the ward. Later on, the nurse gave me apple juice (which really helped) and it was nice to be given a cuppa when I woke up, plus some toast. We were all treated to fish and chips and chatted together (4 ladies in a side ward) before being discharged. 

Think I would prefer to stay overnight after mastectomy, hope you’re doing well now x
