Oh boy oh boy, I've never had a surgery that I wasn't knocked out! I think I'm too much of a chicken to be awake. Just like when woman have a c-section.......how the hell do they do that feeling the tugging and pulling but no pain. Yeppers, me Chrissie total wimp. Put me out with any surgery big or small. tee hee. Plus knowing me, something would probably happen to klutzy me. LOL Love and hugs, ~Chrissie xo's
