Brave Mom! I'm with you for childbirth, but dental proceedures . . . ugh, can't take it.

I once had a colonoscopy without anesthesia because I had no one to accompany me. Everything went well until the doc got to the sigmoid. He couldn't get past that point, so we left it at that... I had another one years later, underanesthesia. Everything ok.

Trust me, if I have to have arm surgery, I'm going for anesthesia of some sort. I'm glad there's a milder alternative.

When I had surgery on my arm, my surgeon suggested "twilight" anesthesia. I actually dozed off from it, which is amazing given how resistant I usually am to meds. But I didn't wake up saying "I'm going to puke," the way I do from general anesthesia. And I was allowed to go home very quickly. Actually, i felt so good that the person who picked me up took me out for lunch!
