So, my call came in this morning from the surgery nurse. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am on Monday morning. I guess this really is going to happen. I just found out I will have a On Q pain catheter inserted. I guess because I'm having a large hernnia repair a the same time. I don't know. I assumed it would be a morphine pain pump but as of this morning that isn't the case. I asked the nurse what this was and she said it was inserted directly into the site. From what I've read it is really good and most people feel no pain at all with this in. I have to be sure to remember to tell them to give me nausea medicine. OH boy... I'm nervous and excited. I'm sure I will blog again on Sunday night fretting about the surgery..
I've lost 13.2 pounds on the pre op so far. I guess I just might make the 15! Wish it had been more but I have really stuck to the diet except for twice which was boiled eggs and lettus...
Has anyone had this On Q pain catheter before? If so, weigh in sleevers. I love y'all!!
