Did you know that they do cataract surgery under LOCAL anesthesia?!?!? WHAT THE HELL!!!! I couldn't even be TOLD I was going to have cataract surgery unless I was under a general.

That is like the subject of a horror movie!!!!

It's conscious, I guess. I do remember they hooked up an IV into my hand several minutes before they took me in for the surgery, but they kept nudging me whenever I tried to fall asleep.

So sounds like a version of conscious. They probably pumped you full of narcotics so it wouldn't hurt, but no benzos so you were "awake" for the entire procedure.
