Haven’t been very active lately. I had an #operation two days ago and was told to take it easy for a while. No lifting, no bending, no stretching, …
Nothing too alarming, I hope, except that every invasive procedure is a concern. They did this with a general #anaesthetic as a day procedure!
Before my operation, I was extremely busy in the garden getting things ready for afterwards.

What a rough week!
I had a nerve #ablation intervention 2 weeks ago.
Initial indications, if the effect of the local #anaesthetic were anything to by?
Were great, unfortunately?
The relief didn't last and when the anaesthetic wore off?
The pain ramped back up.
I am finding myself more and more reliant on #painkillers to function and it's a miserable existence.
My family are bloody martyrs for putting up with my grumpiness as well as they do.

So are we at the stage where there is an #anaesthetic / #anaesthesiology Mastodon presence? Or any #HumanFactors #ergonomics #patientSafety?
I guess the inherent conservatism of the medical world might mean that they’re still mostly over at Twitter.

"For many years, the use of nitrous oxide has been associated with sexual fantasies (1928)... Some patients, as a result of sexual fantasies experienced during inhalation sedation, have even accused their dentist of sexual assault."
