So, I had my surgery this morning and so far everything has gone great!
I got there at around 6:30 am and they went over a few last minute details. Then the doctor marked me, which was a little weird, lol. After that they took me into the operating room, which was absolutely freezing but luckily the table was heating. The anestesiologist inserted my IV, but i was so exhausted that I actually fell asleep befor I get the medicine! They had to wake me up in order to have me count backwards to be put to sleep, lol.
The next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery. I didnt feel any pain but I was sooo thirsty. The nurses went over post-op instructions with my mom while I drank a Sprite and then we were free to leave.
I felt absolutely fine for the first few hours, just exhausted. a few hours ago I started feeling a little pain along the incision lines. Nothing too bad, only a 2 or 3 on the pain scale. I took a peroset which knocked me out for a couple hours. I am feeling a little pain still- maybe a 1 or 2- but I think I will wait a little for more percoset so I can sleep tonight.
So for now I am eating a few saltines, watching Boston Legal, and hoping the rest of my surgery is this easy!!
