    Has anyone here ever had foot surgery that required ankle block anesthesia?

    I'm getting a Cheilectomy to remove bone spurs on a big toe next month they will do the twilight anesthesia on me with an IV but they also obviously numb the hell out of the foot. As I usually do, I read and watch as much as I can about anything I'm having done. Watching the ankle block shots (there are five of them for the five nerves in the foot) makes me immediately go numb. But I don't faint, instead I laugh hysterically. It's the weirdest reaction to something like that.
