That way, if the surgeon says "oops" you won't hear him! <j/k!>
If it were me and I had to have surgery while awake, I think that is what I would try to do, anyway.

*L* He better not say 'oops!' I work with him at the hospital and if anything like that would happen he knows he will never be able to live it down.
I may bring music. That's a good idea. I'm hoping he will give me a little something to relax me once I get there.
