Staying awake during surgery. Am I nuts? - Page 2 - GoFuckYourself.com

Peaches · 01-07-2009, 04:12 PM

I have always BEGGED to be completely knocked out during each and every one of my many surgeries. Personally I'd pay them 10X as much not to hear/see/feel pressure/etc.

You're a stronger woman than I'll EVER be!!

Sending good thoughts your way.

That means you feel everything thats going on with the bone or?!

lol, you don't feel the pain with your bones

btw you will NOT feel pain but you'll be able to feel pressure etc that's a bit freaky but then again nothing major, you'll be just fine

Done it 3-4 times. No big deal other than the squishy sounds and the medical smell. Should go just fine.

Will they allow you to watch? :-p

Oh I don't want to watch it. In fact, I am making them put some kind of drape up so I can't see what is going on.

brassmonkey · 01-07-2009, 04:52 PM

i had eye surgery while i was awake i could see the blood on my eye pretty kool

Tjeezers · 01-07-2009, 05:16 PM

Nothing to fear
my future wife is working at a hospital as docter and she just said you will have no pain.
I am sure she is not fooling you, or perhaps she is...

RRRED · 01-07-2009, 05:20 PM

I'd pay top dollar just to be knocked completely out for the day cuz of the killer sleep you get. No need for surgery... You are indeed, crazy lol

LadyMischief · 01-07-2009, 05:27 PM

Epidural! :P

HomerSimpson · 01-07-2009, 05:28 PM

I guess the feeling that somebody is messing with your flash and bones and those sounds are what you should really be worried about... there will be no pain...

Every surgery I've had I've been knocked completely out. But something way down there on the foot I think I could handle being awake for as long as they're not amputating it. Fixing it, yeah I think going the route you're going with the mp3 player would be just fine. Needles are nothing, they're mosquito bites and are over in a few seconds each.

Good luck with the surg Hone-girl.

Va2k · 01-07-2009, 05:59 PM

Screw that, I had my left hand done for carpal tunnel and they asked me if I wanted a local I was like O HHelll no knock my ass out, went out like a light it was the best sleep I have ever had! This was in June, now Dec 18th I had the same thing done again but this time in my right hand and again HELL no knock me out, but this time the med's they gave me burned like a bitch going in and I was like hey this shit hurts and before anything else could come out I was gone! LOL

Sosa · 01-07-2009, 06:01 PM

I would have been knocked out.

MaDalton · 01-07-2009, 06:25 PM

i would want to watch, i did that when i had toe surgery. very interesting. watching all those splatter movies finally pays out - hehe

Ethersync · 01-07-2009, 06:36 PM

Avoid anesthesia whenever possible.

Will they let you wear headphones?

I would think there would have to be some pretty good explaining especially since you said your doctor was a woman

Spunky · 01-07-2009, 09:47 PM

I'd rather be knocked out..just in case.

Can we do a quick fundraiser to get the full knockdown?!

denny007 · 01-08-2009, 03:31 AM

Will you do local (needles) or epidural (needles into backbone which numb body from belly down) ? I saw a hip replacement done with epidural anesthesia

potter · 01-08-2009, 03:37 AM

it's your foot. local is more than enough. quite yer bitchin

tranza · 01-08-2009, 06:53 AM

Good luck on it!

ajrocks · 01-08-2009, 07:02 AM

It isn't a big deal, I've had a few operations while awake, and major ones. They give you something to relax, generally you are so relaxed you don't notice a thing.

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.

If you can have it done that way I would definitely recommend it. I had a local for wrist surgery many years ago. I requested it. Much better than a general and you get out of recovery much faster. They put a sheet in front of me so I could not see anything and it was a little boring. I remember thinking that I wish I had a portable CD player and headphones to listen to music while the doctor and nurses worked. A local is also safer as well as cheaper than a general.

Bart-ESO · 01-08-2009, 09:23 AM

Go for a local, it's not that bad.

But for heavens sake, don't even think on epidural, that sucks... Gave me a shitty pain in the back for about 4 years.

Achmed · 01-08-2009, 09:27 AM

i was awake for my testicle enlarger surgery

KRosh · 01-08-2009, 09:49 AM

I just had surgery on my ankle 3 moths ago.

I was knocked out and woke up just fine

with 6 screws and a plate

I thought ahead and took my iPod. They let me have it in the OR and I watched videos during the biggest part of it. You are right, it was much better as far as getting out of there quickly and no drug haze. The worst part was all the injections to numb it. Holy cow. Those things were not pleasant. But, once my foot was numb it was not a bad experience at all. I even watched the xrays when they checked to see if the rods were in position.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions, stories, comments and well wishes. I am on the road to recovering now and should be back on both feet in 8 weeks.
