Yes.
I'm not sure how conscious I was of time passage though. They had me on fentanyl at the local hospital, then switched to morphine in the ambulance, then who-knows-what (I assume more morphine) during the actual surgery. And they didn't require much response from me, so I was just laying there staring at the ceiling.
It almost seems like I was laying there for five minutes, but several hours seem to have passed on the clock.
I had one cannula (if it refers to what I think you mean, sort of a port for connecting IVs) on the back of my left hand and another near the joint of my right elbow.
They went in with all their surgical stuff in the front of my right wrist.
