Botox (July 2007):
Dr's office with one doc and one nurse. Felt two pricks, then walked out and drove home. Minimal pain, esp compared to fissure and bming. Minor complication with irritating and already existing miniroid.
Abscess drainage (Feb 2007):
OR, one suregeon, one anesthsiologist, two nurses. I had a spinal, but it was an outpatient surgery. They said they gave me stuff to make it so I wouldn't remember the surgery, I was sleepy, uncoordinated, and felt like I was on some good drugs, but I actually do remember the surgery (it didn't hurt though, probably because of the numbing shot. I could still feel and move my legs despite the spinal). Felt nothing duirng or for the first few hours after surgery because given a numbing shot. Not allowed to go home until I peed, which took 4 hrs. because of spinal and numbing. A LOT of pain the next day and for 5 months after (I would say "and counting" but the botox has helped enormously and I haven't had pain in a week).
