I like how you have an appropriate wrist-themed icon to go with this post.
I was really nervous the first time I was put under general anesthesia. I was afraid of never waking up, you know? But all I was having done was having my wisdom teeth removed by a surgeon who had done the procedure hundreds of times. They gave me a sedative before even hooking me up to the IV, so I didn't even care.
It's really not that bad. Almost as soon as you go to sleep, you're being woken up again. It doesn't feel like any time has passed. Of course, you'll probably sleep for the rest of the day.
Just be careful. Right after I came to, the nurses asked me if I wanted to keep the teeth they had taken out. Being somewhat delirious, I said yes! Now I have these huge ugly teeth sitting on my dresser... Be careful you don't end up taking your cyst home with you!
So, good luck! I'm glad you're getting the treatment that will make you feel better. I'll be thinking of you!
