Another surgery 😞

Hi, so sorry to hear that. I don’t recover well from sedation either, so I made a point if letting my anaesthetist know. She was great at doing extra, including extra monitoring of my brain to minimise how much she gave me, and also made sure they were very gradual with the post-surgery pain relief - which usually ads to the sedation. My surgeon also booked me overnight, even though my lumpectomy is usually a day surgery, so I had the time to recover. Don’t be afraid to speak up and let them know what you go through - I find they are glad to know so they can do everything possible for you.

All the best.
