RE-post from Health..Varicose Veins or Phlebitis after baby delivery?

Just curious if anyone had this at all from pregnancy or anything else, too...?

I had varicose veins, at age 15, had operations twice before this....I waitressed at 14, and was a basketball player, that along with it being hereditary caused it. Then I had DS, and was in hospital when he was 4 days old and already at home, during blizzard, with a blood clot that formed from the pushing, whch was phlebitis...which is very bad...luckily, it was not deep vein, and I was only there for a day.

Now..I have emergency laser ablation and phelbectomy scheduled for Friday, and I just found out, there is no anesthesia, and I will be awake for the entire removal of the affected vein..yes, i will see my vein being pulled from my leg in front of my face....

How the heck will I get through this? I seriously may passout...the nurse just told me on the phone, they recommend a tranquilizer and will call it in for me? Anyone know anyone who has lived through this..lol????
