Sedation - quick question!

[Piggywaspushed]

I am due to have a hysteroscopy under sedation next Monday (not GA).

My letter is very general and only says specifically that if having a GA you need someone with you for 24 hours.

Doctor Google is equally vague.

I am in the position that for unrelated (but also medical) reasons I have just had 2 1/2 weeks off work and am due back just a few days before this procedure.

Obviously, I am taking the day of the procedure itself off and getting a lift home.

The question is- has anyone had this done before ? Were you OK to go to work the day after a sedation? (I'm aware the hysteroscopy itself may cause bleeding and pain issues).

I am a teacher so any time off work is a pain in the backside. No option to WFH or move leave about, obviously.

OK, I'll phone them tomorrow and request more details.

Just to update, just been done. Was awake but don't remember anyone moving my legs about etc which they must have done. I had a mild sedative and did definitely feel the LA and the biopsy but not pain, more a few pinches. Was chucked out of the ward within an hour as I'd had a wee! Not feeling woozy . Just waiting for DH, as we thought I'd be out about 2....

Main side effect now is blood and cramping so may need to find some paracetamol.

The sedative was a low dose , especially as I tend to nausea.

I recommend this if the option is there at anyone else's hospital.
