I was honestly scared of the spinal. When I met with my anasthesiologist the morning of surgery, I said that I was scared of the needle going in my back, and asked if he could make it so I didn't know what was happening. They put SOMETHING in my IV before I went back to the OR, then I got to see the OR and say hi to my OS, but dang, if that wasn't the last thing I remember until I woke up in recovery!!! I had NO nausea, no problems waking up, ate as soon as I got in my room, and then went for a walk!!! I'll take one of those spinals ANY DAY!!!
