You're under whats called ‘’twilight sedation’’ meaning you're fully conscious but numb in the area where the procedure is being done. Mine was inserted through the forearm. Had a long recoup time though. A month but then I also have a pacemaker so I had to sit it out for a while.
Thank you for sharing that!! I really appreciate it. It’s very likely that’s exactly what I’ll be doing (best guess) for a perforation. I just don’t get know the degree. Glad you’re crushing it! Sounds like you’ve been through enough already!
