It's his SOP. I don't have a choice. Apparently, I have the choice of a 'sedative'. I think I'll be taking that option
I dunno lads, you must be squeamish if you don't want to be awake. You can chat up the nurses and so forth. I think it'd be cool.
I'm terrified of getting anesthesia, of what stupid thing I might say under the influence. Not needed it since I was 6. Knowing me I'd say something stupid like "which cellphone".
That's the waking up phase more than the going under. It depends if you know what you are like and if you have cover then recovery doesn't have 12 packed in the room with 60 family round.
Well, I certainly hope if I have anesthesia I will have a waking up phase. Especially now, since I have an unhealthy infatuation with the girl at work. I may not have cheated or done anything wrong, but if I were to wake up and say something stupid like "tell ***** I miss her" to my wife, it wouldn't be good. She would assume the worst. Especially since I'd be worried about saying that, I'd be more likely to say it. Quite simply, I can never have general anesthetic ever. Amputation, give me some brandy and get out the knife. Bypass surgery... Cut me open and give me whisky.
Whisky is not how it's done with locals. In some cases they give a self administered button. You give your own pain relief while they prod. Etc
Seriously though if he is not getting a general this must be done by the minimally invasive route. Though the sawing through bone, scraping, gluing, pinning, and reattaching muscles is all the same.
