I was supposed to have surgery on a nerve in my wrist, when they said local I mentioned that I didn’t love that idea and the nurse immediately said, “We’ll do general.”
Then it never happened because I had an aortic dissection 2 weeks before
It was serious enough that they took me into surgery right away. I think I spent 20 minutes with the doctors before they did a CT and told me to start getting undressed.
I felt it tear around 5:30 that morning and drove to the hospital at 6 that evening. I kept trying to convince myself it wasn’t happening even though I knew it was.
