Hi,
I am looking for suggestions that might help me over the next few weeks. Last year I discovered that there is a high likelihood that I have ASD, and I have been coming to terms with that with help. Unfortunately in the last few weeks I have discovered I need an urgent heart operation, I am, as you might expect petrified of the operation, but equally the stay in hospital is going to be testing. I am extremely sensitive to bright lights and excessive noise both of which are the main stay in most hospitals. To make it worse still I have an extreme phobia of needles. I have dark glasses and cap to cope with the lights and Loop ear plugs to levitate some of the noise. My GP has given me diazepam for the stress and local numbing cream for the needles. I would appreciate any ideas that might make the whole experience more tolerable and well stave of me becoming a blubbering wreck.
Thanks in anticipation
