Hi Rkf,

Thank you for your reply.

It still sounds scary to me, though, since I fear being cut, and actually, being put under seems to put one at even more risk, while there could be negative reactions to anesthesia, one could bleed a great deal despite stopping all aspirin and/or Motrin and Advil weeks before, and we as patients are putting our full faith into people who we simply don't know. That's how I've always seen it.

Regardless, glad to hear you're better with your procedures.
