Thanks. Before my last ortho set my arm, he injected novocane into the location of the 3 break an I didn't have a reaction. I didn't know that you weren't suppose to take it. Maybe I was just lucky.

> I had surgery in December 2005 while on Parnate. You definitely cannot be given Demerol. It can be fatal. Big lawsuit case out of NY related to this. I had my surgery at the University of Chicago and met with the anesthesology dept. first so that they were aware. Doctor gave the okay. The actual anesthesiologist I had for the surgery was not happy because it means he has to use other med's. Actually it is not a big deal. They know as well what pain med's are okay. Main point is that everyone is on board and knows what is going on, and you will be fine.

> RE Novacane. I seem to recall this is also true; no novacane. There is something else the dentist can use. Unfortunately, I am overdue to go to the dentist, and you remind me I need to make an appointment. Point is, even if you can't have novacane, there is an alternative--the dentist will know or should.
