I'll try to keep this as short as I can, but I have an upcoming surgery and I am angry and/or upset about many of the aspects about it. Some things in particular are:Feeling helpless right afterwardsBeing confined to bed for about 4 days after surgery (even if I feel great, I will not be allowed to get up)The other time in my life I had surgery I was given a severe sore throat from the breathing tube. This was the most painful thing in my life, and it hurt far worse than the actual surgery. It looks like I do not have a choice and I will have to get general anaesthesia and a breathing tue again. I would prefer a milder sedation or to be outright awake during surgery, but like I said, it looks like I don't have a choice.Most other people I've talked to do not like many aspects of surgery, but they focus on how it will improve their lives. I personally sweat the details. Is this common? I am often very angry, upset, or scared.
Answer:
It's not uncommon in the least. You're probably someone used to being in charge and hate having to give up control. This is normal. Just try to focus on the good aspects, and if that isn't enough then you should bring your concerns to the doctor and/or surgeon.
trust me it is not uncommon to have these feelings before having a surgery esp since you have had a bad experience with other surgeries. I am a nurse and i have seen this a number of times. I do wish you well and hope your surgery goes smoothly
it depends on who you are the human nerve system works a little differently for everyone but it should be normal if your emotions get out of control over it contact your regular doctor
