Ptosis Operation

If you've had the muscle in your eyelid shortened to help with drooping lids please share your experience.
I am having the first one done on Thursday and I'm getting queasy about it. It will be done under local anaesthetic so I will be home the same day.
It's the thought of seeing and hearing what they are doing that is turning me in to a quivering wreck.
Help and advice, please

I needed a lot of re-assurance at my last two local ops, carried out at Barts hospital for emergency fitment of a Pacemaker and later the next day for an angiogram, just afew days ago :)

Barry, you know what they say... 'it's all in the mind.'
Not the same as yours, but I've had 'entropion' treated surgically three times. (Lower eyelid turning in on the eyeball.)
Most recently, the theatre nurse was sitting beside me and we spent the whole procedure talking about jazz.
The trick is to completely ignore what's going on. You don't feel a thing. You just need to distract your mind.
You'll be fine :o)
