Surgery and The Day After

Yesterday was my surgery (10/15) performed by Dr. Nirmul and his crew.

Up until going in to pre-op I had zero anxiety. However, when I got into pre-op and they put the IV in, the reality of the situation set in. Fear of coming out of surgery and if I'm going to have any pain. Also in pre-op my husband met the surgeon and liked him very well.

Once I got wheeled-in I remember transfering to the operating table, and then waking up in recovery.

My husband said that once I left for the operating room only 45 mins passed by.

But it was the recovery room that I felt miserable. Not from the incisions, punctures, or the gasses in my body ... but a raging headache.

My oxygen levels were low therefore the team thought it best for me to stay overnight.

I slept for about 15 hours in the hospital. I woke up to go to the bathroom and take a walk a few times.

To my surprise I had and still have zero discomfort from the incisions. I'm on day-two and I simply feel the headache.

The minute I walked in the door, I headed for our fridge and opened it. I reminded myself that it's another bad habit I need to kick.
