You were happier too Gambit?

Gambit · 12-12-2005, 05:30 PM

Much.

Only bad part about the drugs is that whole "spinal injection" thing. Not to be taken lightly!

Variable · 12-13-2005, 03:22 AM

Oh, and the bedside manner of the nurses whilst getting the spinal injection!

Bear in mind that Kristin has a pathological fear of needles stemming from when she got a cut in her eyebrow stitched up at the tender age of 4 without anesthetic because of the doctors wonderful "Oh she won't possibly remember this when she's older" logic.

Bull, obviously they do remember it.

I am not a bit scared of needles. Good thing, the one they use on your spine is like 10 inches long. I had one nurse for that, and her bedside manner was great. Anesthesiologist was bloody good at his job too. Only person I've ever seen who could hit a vein on me the first try. In my hand yet, those are harder. (I have invisi-veins, you can't see them. Pale as I am, too)

Shoot ya, he was happier, I could sleep and therefore, so could he.

My advice, don't be a hero, and get the epidural.

anaesthetic?
SiFi, how many anaesthetics did it take before you finally went out back when we went to get your wisdom teeth out? All i know for sure is that when you came out, you were staggering like an Irish at happy hour

(and I can say that 'cause i'm 1/3 irish, right?)

SiFi · 12-16-2005, 06:12 AM

One in each arm, sleepy gas, and twenty-ish minutes to put me under. They chose gas as an alternative to putting a third needle in my hand.

I'll say that I was pretty wonky after the second IV, but still conscious. Go me!
