post op

Surgery went off without a hitch.

I got to the hospital at 7, was IVed and ready to go by 8:20, in surgery and put under at 9:20 (seriously, such a weird sensation. I don't remember closing my eyes and then I was waking up in recovery curled up on my side) awake and recovering by 11. I was tired and dozed a bit while waiting for Adam to come get me but otherwise I felt fine, and I've felt fine all day. No bad reaction to the anesthesia, thank god! If I did say anything wacky, I don't remember it at all.

There has been some bleeding but nothing major. I have pain meds but the only thing that hurts is my throat from where they stuck a tube down it during surgery (thank god I don't remember this at all either!). I feel good, I napped with Adam for a while and then my friends came over for girls night. I have finally hit the wall and am going to bed, hopefully I will feel okay in the morning too!

All in all, I am so relieved that this is done and I can hopefully move on with my life! I am certainly ready to. Everyone at the hospital was super nice and I didn't feel nervous or scared at all.

And my gyno is currently watching BSG so that pretty much made my day.

My hand is blue and bruised from the IV. I need to go to bed.

So glad everything went well. I've had my share of surgery's, and no matter how big or small they are always stressful. Good to hear everyone has been super nice and you've been mostly pain free!

I'm glad it went un-hitchy, hon. Take care of yourself, get lots of sleep, and don't over do anything.

*hugs*

I'm glad the surgery went so well and that you are home, recovering and managing to even enjoy yourself. *hugs gently*

I'm so happy it was such an easy experience! That's totally the way to go-just sleep and wake up and it's all over. Enjoy your recovery time as much as you can :)
