all the best with your graft in March/april. Is this your first? I ought to be having one at about that time, too.

Hehehe maybe! Well i guess it could be said that that is why women have kids and not men!!
Personally i would have prefered a local and not fretted half as much as i could have talked to the surgeon and indeed listened to what was going on, instead of me worrying over not waking up from a general! Hehe but after meeting with me and all the talking i do, maybe that was why it wasn't offered to me as he would have needed some peace to work!!!!!!!!

ROFL!
Yes, I'm sure that he'd never have concentrated with your constant babbling in the background
Seriously though, my consultant told me straight when I gingerly enquired whether my graft would be under a local or a general. "Oh, general. No question! We do this for the comfort of the patient." She went on to tell me that in the USA, grafts are more likely to be done under a local for the comfort of the surgeon... solely because of the increased risks of being sued if a patient doesn't come round from the anaethsetic!
