Day of surgery

Sadly and embarrassingly, I had to to th bum one myself 

oh my goodness - just reading this I am getting all anxious - strapped down?  did you feel anxious at all?  I have panic attacks and I am so worried I am going to flip out.  This is so scary.

I have a diagnosed panic attack disorder as well as high anxiety and I didn't freak out, it wasn't super confining or restricting, the arms and the legs just had Velcro straps. I did a lot of deep breathing and self talking to keep me nice and calm. 

I feel the same.  When I had a previous procedure done, I did not know this.  Thankfully they strapped my arms down only seconds before I was out.  I didn't have time to panic.   When I see the anesthesiologist, I will ask them to do this for me.
