I'm due to have surgery (NHS) in a few weeks time and whilst it's not a particularly long or complex procedure – I think drifting off with music (via in ear monitors or headphones) would be helpful for me to lessen anxiety.
Also coming round to something familiar would probably be interesting 🤔
Anyway, have you been allowed to do this?
I know I am not totally demented, there is some science behind it (lessens anxiety and the need for post operative pain relief, also helps improve recovery – apparently*).
* I haven't done any real research, just Google.
So, have you? Will I be allowed?
