Be mindful of the anesthesia they use. PROPOFOL is harder for PH/PAH patients to come out of.

I had recent vascular surgery on both my legs and I am 72 yrs young. All is well.

I actually became lightheaded and fell coming in from my mailbox without oxygen. I fell on the concrete step and broke my kneecap. I had nerve blocks. They worked so well but I was not prepared for the pain when the blocks all wore off at the same time! Get ahead of the pain!

Thanks all. I've been reading about spinal block with light anesthesia. That may have to work. The radiologist said my hip is going to end up breaking if I don't get it taken care of. He gives me the steroid injections.
