Hi Cathy,
I am not a dbser but have had two hip joint replacements. Both were done with a spinal and I had no pain for the surgery. I would recommend that over general anethesia.
2nd point is this. Be very clear about your pd meds.
most hospitals will want to give you your levadopa or whatever you take when it works for thier schedule. Really impress on them that you need your meds and on time.
Good luck Cathy
