October 17th - After 3 weeks from the day of the Forehead Flap procedure, my Amazing Plastic Surgeon gave me the option of doing the Pedicle Detachment under General Anesthesia at the Hospital, or a Local Anesthesia at his office (one hour procedure). After my Forehead Flap procedure under General Anesthesia ( 6 total hours at the hospital with prep and recovery) and experiencing 6 loooong hours of absolute nausea, I opted for the local anesthesia at his office. Hmmmm...not sure I would recommend that. Lying completely still and awake for about an hour, while this procedure was being done, required about as much mental will power as I have ever exhibited. Still...LOVE my Surgeon and his amazing nurse, Mo, though. No nausea, and home an hour later.
