I called Dixie but she wasn´t home. So I talked Humberto. And as I thought, there is a way of doing a procedure on Dixie´s leg without having to use complete anesthesia.
Humberto told me that I was the only person he knew that preferred total anesthesia instead of a local one and I had to explain.
Once my husband needed surgery because he had a big haernia. And both doctors were fans of my husband´s soccer team.
So the put local anesthesia and while they cut and sewed, they talked with him about football (soccer).
After that I decided that I would never accept that for me. And when I had a histerectomy, the doctors wanted to cut me up with local anesthesia. Luckily Humberto came and I told him to tell the other doctors that if they did not put me to sleep I´d walk out.
But most of the rest of the people prefer local anesthesia. So Dixie might have her procedure with no harm to her heart.![](/Content/images/emotes/thumbup.gif)

When Humberto told me the latest news I said that even I could have suggested that although I´m no doctor. After all, a led is just a leg and what doctors want to do is a minor thing.
I´m very happy for her.![](/Content/images/emotes/happy.gif)

Now the leg hurts a lot when she walks.
I´m glad that Humberto could explain to me that all the procedure could be a minor one. But the first doctors she saw wanted to do surgery with total anesthesia and her heart would not resist it.

@marguicha I see what you saying more about her heart than her leg. It is true for surgery the better you can fight things off the more likely surgery will be successful. I am sure it will be fine if doctor is confident. I hope all goes the way its planned

@crossbones27 She has mayor heart problems That´s why everty procedure is more dangerous than if she had a normal heart. She has had open heart surgery twice.

Today Dixie called me again. It seems that the procedure will be done with a local anesthesic. I´m very happy!

I hope it all goes well for her. It seems it's rather hard to get Dixie to slow down her pace...I hope she does if she needs to.

I think the logic goes that a minor surgery needs local anesthesia.
A painful, vital part(s) or a bigger surgery needs a general anesthesia else the patient might be in a big discomfort.
I hope Dixie comes out well from the situation.

With a local anesthetic, Dixie won't feel a thing. Then, she will be on a pain medication for a while. A Win/Win situation for Dixie!

The best part is that a local anesthetic won´t harm her heart. Her heart has been a complete mess for decades.

@marguicha It would be dangerous to put her under. Dixie's heart would be affected by this.

It's good that Dixie's husband is a doctor. Hopefully she can have the operation done soon.

I don't think I would care for a local anesthetic. I'm glad they are using a local for Dixie. Have a good day.
