I went in to hospital expecting a general anaesthetic for surgery on my wrist but after detailed explanations of all the options from Dr Wilson, I opted for a nerve block in my arm, meaning I was conscious during the operation. It was a daunting prospect but I had full confidence in the team and Dr Wilson put my at ease and kept checking I was OK during the procedure. I was able to talk to Dr Wilson and the surgeon and listen to music through my headphones. In the end I actually found the experience really interesting - it's not often you get to see inside an operating theatre! The only downside was that the nerve block wore off on the way home - much sooner than the anticipated 12 hours - meaning I was in a lot of pain until the painkillers kicked in. But I can't fault the care before and during the procedure.
