okay we need to get ready for bed so we can wake up on time for our appointment later because we have to go to a hospital in another city for it and weirdly I'm not as anxious as I thought I'd be at the moment but it is only the consultation and not the actual surgery so y'know
#personal#thoughts#🍬 post#the surgeon has really good reviews at least and apparently he specialises in a bunch of stuff to do with facial nerve repair#which is not what we're having done but it does make me feel a little better about some stuff#because our facial nerves are kind of fucked and tend to have more problems after dental work#this guy has written research papers on trigeminal neuralgia treatments#he also apparently recommends co-codamol for pain relief after surgery#which makes me think he'll be less likely to get all judgy and weird about me taking that to manage my pain#and that's a huge relief because so many medical professionals are shitty about people needing to take opioids#unfortunately none of this helps with our main issues around stuff like sedation and hospital environments#but hopefully he'll be understanding about that#a bunch of the reviews we saw were from patients who had really bad anxiety and said he was really patient and understanding with them
