Donated. I think it's basically the same procedure. They're going in on the hip/butt?
They gave me liquid Valium if I recall correctly. Later, I found out that most places put you under general for this sort of thing.
Hurt for a day or so and then just a bit of soreness and the occasional mild shooting pain for the next few days when I shifted my weight. Yes, I could drive the next day. Was easily tired for a few days after.
I've heard some people say that they think most of the pain comes from expectation and tensing up, so going with general anesthesia leads to a quicker and less painful recovery.
From many hospital experiences: The key to a smooth procedure and successful recovery with the least drama and scarring is to never let a resident go anywhere near you.
