Thank you everyone! I was kind of freaking out thinking I'd be fully aware of what was going on during the surgery but it's nice to know I can get some kind of sedation and only be slightly aware. : It's also good to know approximately how long I'll be at the hospital for so my boyfriend can take adequate time off from work to drive me/pick me up, etc. : Will they make me get into a hospital gown or can I stay dressed with my own clothes but wear something short sleeved? I can't imagine trying to fumble around with clothes afterwards! : Will my hand be in a splint of sorts or just bandaged afterwards? : Also, how long will it take before I can drive again? : Thank you so much everyone for your help! Good morning Brenda, I can't answer your questions because I've not had surgery, but each surgery can be different & each doctor does things in his/her own way.. Why don't you call the office & ask them these questions so you will know for sure.. As for the gowns? hahaha Heck they make us put on a gown just to take our blood pressure..LOLOL Seriously I would call the doctors office & ask your questions because they are important to you. |
