I am going in for arthroscopic surgery in October. It is definitely not my first one (I've had three previous), but in all of my prior knee surgeries, I had a general anesthetic. This one, I have the option to choose.
i am wondering if anyone has had both, and can give me an opinion.
I was sort of intrigued with the spinal, b/c I am the type of person that would get a kick out of watching it (assuming they had a screen), or asking questions...but I don't know what happens with that.
Stuff to consider:
I like to watch :p
I AM a puker with anesthesia.
I have had a spinal tap (and the anesthetic that goes with it)...and the spinal headache made me want to DIE (and I am a veteran of migraines). I was incapacitated for almost a week. Would I be at risk of this with the local/spinal anesthetic? B/c, if so...I will take 12 hours of vomit in a second.
