@bustrbrwn22, and Rose, The Ivy was for a light AKA Twilight AKA conscious sedation for the procedure to get my steroid spinal injection. They use something like Propofol to make you not move, and a benzodiazepine such as Valium and something else I believe. A lot of people do not have this and in fact, I suffer through my first three steroid injections back in the day before I got my first of three back surgeries. I am currently facing a fourth but for a different reason which is severe canal stenosis so that would be for a decompression surgery within the spinal canal. They usually try steroid injections as a first measure to see if they working out for a patient to avoid surgery. I failed my three, three weeks apart, before my first surgery. Hope that helps and I wish you all the best!!
