@sonieaml I also live alone and specifically requested sedation for the procedure; I was extremely fearful of the pain and didn't want to be awake for it. I did have to have a driver take me to the hospital and home. I asked a relative and they were able to do it. If you need a ride, there are services that provide for a driver and someone to be at the facility with you.

@georgiagurl thank you. Fortunately my pain threshold is high and am comfortable with the BMB procedure with the lidocaine for numbing. I would never discourage anyone to forego sedation especially with a fear of pain…I pray that your results are better than expected and keep us posted please.
