Thanks for the Anaesthesia advice

[Guest guest]

Thanks everyone who sent me advice on anaesthesia. I had a good experience,

helped along by how cute the anaesthetist was I am sure! The start of minor

surgery was a bit weird, as the doctors confessed they had only heard of CMT

in medical school. They then asked a lot of questions, and consulted

another anaesthetist (the one originally scheduled for me but my procedure

was rescheduled due to 7 July events) and then seemed to have everything

under control. They seemed more concerned that I fly long haul regularly

(almost once every two weeks) and more worried about deep vein thrombosis

than my CMT. So off I went to surgery, wearing TED stockings (compression

socks) which they have as standard for all patients in general anaesthesia,

and I woke up with a warm blanket under my legs with warm feet too! And I

have absolutely no pain today, just a little woozy which I can never tell if

that would be from general tiredness or surgery.

Thanks again everyone!
