selenite is home, and we were discussing the varied things that could come of me going to a specialist for the coccyx problem. Surgery was mentioned, he was finding it worrisome, and I mentioned that the site technomom sent me to talked about it being done with a local. He hadn't realized that, thought it'd be general, although wondered if epidural was enough.
My opinion was that although I understand that they want to do surgery with as low a level of anesthesia as is feasible, that personally, I'd rather be out for such a thing. After all, I'd be bored to tears. I just know they wouldn't let me read. Or knit.selenite was amused at the idea of them trying to sterilize a book or yarn to take it into the ER. I figured you could do it with worsted weight cotton, and I could just work on a facecloth or something. That'd be an interesting history for a knitted piece! I told selenite just think, I could give it to someone! "I knit this while they amputated my coccyx. I thought of you." What a way to tell someone they're a pain in the ass!
Now see, other people would be all dignified about this sort of problem, and never mention it. But no, not us. I'm at least going to get all the humor out of it I can.

If an epidural worked for them cutting open my belly, you'd likely be fine with one. (Properly administered and all.) You can also tell the anesthesiologist if you start to feel anything, that way.
(It was funky. I could feel my toes, but from ankles to ribs? Nada. I was poking at my stomach and going, "Woah, numb!" on the way to the operating theater.)
