The anesthesia is worth more than the surgery. You can have the anesthesia without the surgery, but I don't recommend the surgery without the anesthesia.
Kool moe said that in the thread. I hadnt read it since I last posted in it. I just wanted to say I had my last 2 surgeries without any anesthesia. Though I dont recommend. It was gonna cost me like 700 bucks for each one to take out screws so I said screw it and just suffered.

The worst by far was the hip one cause it was like 4 inches long put in diagonal through my femur by the ball. They even scheduled that one for getting knocked out after I said not to because they said it was gonna be terrible if I stayed awake. I said I wasn't paying for it so they didnt do it. Well I figured the next day when the screw was still out of my leg and I still had 700 more dollars in my pocket I'd thank myself. Which I did. But it certainly was terrible. I figured he would use some sort of drill crap, well it felt like a hand screwdriver and he slipped several times, or at least it felt like it, then would start again. Probably took about 2 minutes from starting to back the screw out until it was all the way out. Just like the grinding sensation in/on my bone was driving me crazy.

That is the only time in my life I actually seriously felt like I was gonna pass out. I didnt but I came close. Even when I broke my leg and it was in 2 chunks next to me I never came close to passing out. The knee screw was probably only an inch long, and even though that one hurt too, it was nothin like the hip. They gave me shots in my leg, and even though it was supposed to numb it, which im sure it did a little, it sure as hell didnt feel like it. Anyway just wanted you guys to know what a bad ass I am lol. I saved both screws and if someone wants to buy either one they are for sale for ~2300 a piece, the cost for taking each out of me.

Oh and a funny funny story about that surgery, though it sucked at the time, was when these 5 female nurses were around me, and the male surgeon. First of all why they need that many nurses I have no idea but im sure I had to pay for each one. Anyway, the doctor pours all this weird crap on me where he is making the cut in my leg. Well Im not sure what it was, but I do know that he poured way too much on it and went down and covered my nuts, and oddly enough, after about 5 seconds, it actually felt like my nuts were on fire, and the surgeon could tell and said whats wrong. HAHAHAHAHA it was so weird with all those chicks around me but then I just said it "It feels like my balls are on fire" and he wiped it all off, but man that crap stung.
