Wow! I'm really glad I asked this question. There were a lot of things I didn't even stop to consider about this. I'm printing out all the responses for my pre-op today. I think if I had to opt for something right now it would be the local. I'm am very concerned about potential interaction between my meds and the anesthesia drugs.
All the previous surgeries were on different parts of the body, eyes, feet, shoulder, back and stomach. Sounding a little like the six million dollar man? It is the intracapsular arthroscopic surgery and he says I might possibly be up and walking the day following the procedure, I hope so.
I will make sure I do what's best for me and not let the doctor influence my decision based on what's easiest for him. Thanks again to all for the input and I'll keep you informed on what I decide to do.
