Endovenous ablation of varicose veins

Okay, whenever you're ready, would you like to explain what's happened today? What did you have to do today? I had an operation. I had an operation. Leg? Leg. You had an operation on your leg? Yes, I had an operation on my leg. I'm so discouraged. Are you recording? Yes. She's finished now. Another question, did anything unexpected happen? I just give you my experience of it as well, she wants me to say something as well, because So we've come from my mum's varicose veins laser treatment today and she was a bit anxious about what was going to happen to her but when we met the doctor he clearly explained to her, I translated for her, she had the opportunity to ask any questions. She was a bit concerned about how long the procedure was going to take and that was explained to us. We had to wait a little while but when we were taken into the actual procedure room was a bit anxious about lying on her tummy which she doesn't like doing anyway so that was explained to her by the doctor that it would take about 15 minutes. Once she was settled she was fine and she relaxed and then the procedure took place. There was a little bit of pain, she did feel a little bit of pain but each time they were putting the needles in the doctor explained to her what he was doing, how long it was going to take and she She was very good and she didn't feel, there was a little bit of pain. Is there anything you'd like to recommend to someone who's going through it? The doctors and nurses were very helpful, the surgeon was very good. I think what my mum was explaining was that it's sometimes good if a nurse explains what's going to happen, if there's any questions that they have before the procedure that would be helpful. But our questions were answered today, so yeah, all fine. I think she had lots of questions about what would happen afterwards, after today, so the leaflets that you provided were helpful, but I think there are some specific questions that she had, so if we could have had those answered that would be even better. Is there anything else you'd like to add? No, it was overall a very good experience today, the nurses and doctors were very good, consultants were very helpful, thank you.
