Next year I face surgery for an incisional hernia in the Spring or Summer (my choice when) which was the result of having four surgeries in two years in the same incision. Now that I have some anxiety about, as I have difficulty with anesthesia, Years ago I had to have a hysterectomy and I did NOT want the anaesthesia. I talked to the doctor about it and they used some sort of local????? so that I could stay awake or just be drowsy... I know for awhile they had to increase the drowsiness as the operation had taken longer than they expected and the pain was becoming rather intense :( but they corrected it somehow and I was able to see them march off with that which they had removed. :) When I had my eye surgery - a vitrectomy - vitrectomysolutions.com they requested I remain awake. I made them promise that they would not tie down my hands. Well... one is a bit drowsy with this procedure also and when they wheeled me in to do the procedure that 'sweet' little tough nurse told me they weren'te going to tie my hands, but they were going to wrap them under the sheet.... that upset me quite a bit and a good portion into the surgery they did unwrap one of my hands so that one of the surgeons could hold it. There was no way in God's Green Earth that I would have touched the ongoing procedure, but they were not to know my history.... after freeing my hand and holding it lightly I began to relax... I would get their statements in writing for any surgery promises. I could have my hand held, but binding it under a sheet when awake caused more tension than was worth it. It is the closest thing I had to a phobia matching that of looking over high high places with nothing to hold to prevent a fall... arggggg... The 'trick' they played on me was similar to a girl we hosted for a year as a student. You could tell her something such as "" coloring someone's hair blue was wrong, so she'd use pink paint... and that was OK...""" LOL The funny thing about the vitrectomy is that I underwent that face down time and the sleeping sitting up time that the eye surgeon wanted. The only time that I have ever been to a local emergency room here on the weekend for a sinus/strep???... the doctor was wearing an eye patch... and Standing... he had had a vitrectomy the week before and his procedure allowed his working and removing the patch to check throat etc... I was amazed at how far they had come in such little time. Wonderful!!
