"Going To Sleep And Not Sure You Will Wake Up Is Scary" — Lady Recounts Her Fear Before Surgery

 

. 

A lady has opened up about the unpleasant fear she had before she went in for an important surgery, not knowing whether she'll come out alive. 

She disclosed that going to sleep and not knowing if she'll wake up was scary because the doctor had to put her to sleep for the surgery. 

The lady identified as General_Oluchi, who had surgery 2 weeks ago took to Twitter to share her experience stated she couldn't even relax as she didn't know whether the surgery will be successful. 

"I was booked for a surgery on the 28th of December, and on the 27th, I spent all day cooking and freezing. The only thing on my mind was ensuring that there was food for my family before going to the hospital to surrender myself to a team of doctors and nurses. It wasn’t an emergency surgery and I had the choice to go or not to go, but if I didn’t go, my condition would worsen. That kind thing."

By 7 am, I was already at the hospital. In a few minutes, I was in bed.

A nurse set up my compression socks and told me to relax. 

How can I relax when I’m not sure if I’m coming home or not. I chucked and began tweeting. I tweeted some memes and watched some cooking videos. 

A group of doctors and nurses walked in to brief me on their plans.

I would be knocked out for 3-4 hours and when I wake up, they will be there for me. 

“Do you have to put me to sleep? Can I watch?” I asked but the doctor smiled and said I have to be put to sleep. 

Going to sleep and not sure you will wake up is scary.

By 8:25 am, they told me it was time to take me to the operating room, and that they will inject something to help me relax. 

To put me to sleep. 😞

I wanted to fight it,  and I remember joking with a nurse in the OR that I can still see her. 

Then I couldn’t

Then I was out. I didn’t dream, didn’t hear or see a thing, just one short nap and I was back up again. 

I wasn’t sure I was fully back to life until I got a text from my husband showing me that my son broke my ornament while jumping around.

Ah hah!!! I was back! My energetic son got to my favorite figurine.

That was how he planned to welcome me home. But I was glad to be back home a day after and have been recovering ever since."
