Realistic expectations for '14-'15

You know, what I shouldn't generalize when my dad had his surgery they did not put him under.

Is he a war hero? those guys can be pretty tough. Guy probably had a shot of whiskey and a piece of wood to bite down on.

So I found this one the web, these are you anesthesia options:

  • femoral nerve block for post-operative pain reduction, combined with general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia
  • general anesthesia: puts you to sleep completely
  • spinal anesthesia: medication injected into your back to make you numb from the waist down with the option of being completely awake or napping

For my shoulder surgery I was given the option to go under or just have the area paralyzed or whatever, not sure if it's the same for ACL's but it'd make sense

Didn't read thread. My expectation: Spencer returns full strength. A fully loaded Buffs squad wins national title.

No war hero, they did the spinal block on him when they did the ACL surgery.
