Surgeons are not always comforting people. Sep. 17th, 2023 @ 01:39 pm
"It's the most painful operation you can have on your body." - my surgeon, this morning

It doesn't make most of the lists of you google "most painful operation" but they usually just list orthopaedic surgeries, and I can definitely state with absolute confidence that at least one of the ones mentioned isn't nearly as painful as having a cyst removed can be, so there's that.

Really, these things are so variable and subjective!

He seemed mildly concerned that I'll have an unpleasant time because of how many painkillers I have adverse reactions to, but that's a discussion to have with the anaesthetist.

My surgery will be on the second of October, which is at least a couple of days after [personal profile] velithya's birthday. I go into hospital the night before and come out... at some point. It depends on various factors to do with how the surgery and recovery go.

Unnerving comments notwithstanding he seemed very nice.
