Hi there, I hope this is helping you, I know when I did this it helped me (it also helped me to write it in a word doc. You can edit the bits you forget over the day (or days as it was it my case), they are only words, the memories are there already (assuming you don't have any amnesia which is common). It will get better, and I feel sure your surgery will be fine, none of us like 'going under'. A little tip if you really dread the surgery process; I reacted badly to whatever they gave me as a kid in hospital and was wired and hyper, so I got another of whatever it was and was even more wired and hyper. So I told them this and whatever I got as a result meant I didn't finish the first page of my book. In the theatre I just told them I didn't want them to explain anything more about the when, I would just watch the eyes of the surgeon, it helped me and I will do it again when I feel I have the energy to get my nose rebroken and fixed again (very minor I know). The only thing you need to know, perhaps is that you can have a tingle or cold feeling in your arm, it's nothing- good luck in getting this out of your system. And good luck with the surgery and everything else.
