Anaesthetist wants to offer epidural?

Hi MrsBJH

I had an Epidural as well & I am glad I did, once it had worn off I was quite comfortable with just painkillers.

Sending love & hugs 

Thanks just65. I've got an irrational fear of them. Bxx

Been reading up on it. Younger patients cope better. Can I ask is your age similar to me at 67?

I'm 55, & everything went perfectly, what time is your surgery ?

Nothing to worry about you will be fine xx

Thought I'd be going down about 12 but it's 12.30 now. 

Thanks 

Just remember in several hours all this will be over & you will be back at home tomorrow 

Just seen this, and probably too late, but I'd have anything they offer!!  Having said that I felt I could have done without the painkillers they gave me, but they insisted I had them. I just had a bad period pain. I was more interested in getting my bowels moving as my husband was told never to go more than 3 days without a movement.

Hoping its over and done with by now for you! xx

I hope you are all done now and resting afterwards MrsBJH. The anaesthetist talked to me about epidural but in my nervousness I got confused and thought it was an alternative to being knocked out and that I would be awake for the surgery so I said no!!

Hugs, Lesley xx
