Hey October Sleevers! I am sad to say I have to take myself off the list. I had an unexpected surgery come up here in the States. It was an outpatient surgery (my first ever). I was told I'd be intubated, but would never know it because it would happen in the OR after I was asleep, and I'd be extubated in the OR before I ever came back to recover. Well, I woke up in recovery about 2 hours later than they expected and was on a ventilator. The last half hour of this I was fully awake, aware and unable to move a muscle. I could feel that I was unable to breath on my own and was thankful for the vent, but at the same time, panicking, feeling like I was going to choke or stop breathing. I later found out that I received 1/3 of a dose of a non depolaryzing paralytic (Rocuronium?) and apparently don't metabolize them well. The anesthesiologist sent me a letter and told me that I am never again to receive any form of paralytic. However, it is apparently possible to do surgery without them. I then developed sepsis of unknown origin (in otherwords not from the surgical site, but sick none the less). My primary care, who has been on board with the whole thing has told me to hold off for at least six months. However, I am so gun shy now, I don't know if I can do it at all. I'm crushed, but also feel l dodged a big bullet. I cannot imagine what would have happened to me had I been in Mexico and received the full dose. I feel like I would have probably died. So this is a blessing I know, and I'm thankful to be alive. I'm still so disappoionted. Anyway, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I will always feel an attachment to you October people and will be watching your progress enviously.

Omg, elaine, you angel was holding your hand God bless, and so glad to see you are ok.

ElaineB, so sorry to hear about your situation... you will be in my prayers and will always be a part of our October family

Thanks so much NDN and Tfazio. Yes, I believe God played a part in it. Sorry if that offends anyone. In fact, my aunt, who was like a mother to me was a nurse who died in 2010. When I pray I always think of her. When I went in for this surgery, the nurse came in and said, "Hi, I'm Terry Ann." which was her name. I love you guys. I'm going to do this, I just need more time and I needed this information to have a good outcome. I will tell you that Alma with ready for a change has been so kind and supportive of me. She went above and beyond what she had to do with the cancellation. I can't remember, but Tfazio, aren't you going to Dr. Garcia too?

No... I'm going to Dr Alvarez.

No... I'm going to Dr Alvarez.

No... I'm going to Dr Alvarez. ...

Sorry phone went a lil crazy lol

That's right. My brain is only half functional at this point. I will be the Ocober official Mascott/Cheerleader. When you are bemoaning that liquid/pureed phase and getting all thin and hot, you can look at my weight loss (zero) compared to yours and remember why this is worth it:)
