Staying awake during surgery. Am I nuts?
I splintered a bone in my foot New Years day and have to have surgery on it tomorrow to pin it back together. The Dr. told me that rather than getting knocked out, she could do a local on it which would save me some money. It just means a lot of needle sticks. My question is, has anyone else ever had surgery on just a local? Was it horrible?
I was pretty brave when I made the decision and now that I am less than 24 hours away, I am wondering if I made the right decision.
