After 5 months of running around, doing paperwork, tests and meetings it's done! I can't believe it.I've read books and reviews and I've read other peoples' experiences. Being prepared is great and learning as much as you can is great, but I think it's actually possible to learn too much.... or maybe not learning too much but having too many things in your head. I have learned that everyone's experience is different and I will tell anyone who is considering this surgery to do the research and read all you can but know that you are an individual and your experience will be totally your own.
I was told that I would be in LA-LA land for 2 days and that I wouldn't remember anything from surgery day.... ummmm NOT..... lol, I remember everything up to even when they put my arms on the foamy thing for the knock out drugs, i remember the nurse saying I am putting the oxygen mask on now.
And the Happy Birthday sign on the wall in the operating room! How's that ya'll! Surgery started 8:14 and Dr talked to my family a little after 10.
No Problems.
Woke up around 4pm.... and that was it. they had no rooms available so was stuck in recovery til 8pm, and trust me I was awake. And i totally remember it all.
8PM-- finally a room.... let me out of this bed!!! Got up, sat in chair and then took a slow stroll around the nurses station. So there you go..... all the worry and for no reason. Saturday... drink test and ultrasound on legs.. no problems
Yea finally some water! some more walking lots of visitors... and NO PAIN!
Never used the morphine pump not even once. and haven't had any pain since.
Home on Monday.... and I have been out and about.
So I guess what i want to tell you.... all my worrying and crying was a waste of time....
