DR JANE I had a drip of some kind, I will have to wait until I get my Medicare papers to see what it was.....it wasn't quite the conscious sedation that I love.....I was awake....and talking....and hearing everyone talk to me and each other....and I did feel the cutting and the stitching....they would ask me if it hurt....and I said "a little"....I can't say it was as painful as DR JOHN G's must have been, but it wasn't a trip to OZ either....
