I’m going under general for the first time in two weeks for a brain biopsy.
Explain it and how it’s safe.
I’m not scared of the biopsy, just the general.
Is that normal?

I’ve been under general anesthesia quite a few times. It is going to feel like a time skip once it is all said and done. They will likely ask you to count backward from 10 then all of a sudden you will be awake. If they ask you if you are uncomfortable just take whatever medicine they offer. It will make the process smoother
I have also had several brain procedures done. Please please please take any nausea and cough medicine they offer. I sprung a CSF leak once and I had to have a redo of my surgical procedure in order to patch the leak.
Please ask me if you have any specific questions.
* a scopolamine patch also worked really well for post-surgery dizziness.
