Omg!!! I did it. I had surgery today at noon. I expected the worst and cried some before it because I was so nervous. Right now at 11pm is the most I have been alert and awake. I have been sleeping like crazy and a few hours ago I had some juice and broth which went down ok especially cuz I was hungry and dry throat. I also toke a short walk which was hard because I am super dizzy. The pain was bad at first but has gotten easier and is tolerable. I'm a big baby and for me I was surprised the pain is not bad. Nothing that the meds could not fix. I no longer am scared and I feel good and don't regret this!! Thank God. Now I am finally excited!!! Wishing everyone the best.........

Thank u! Gonna get my next dose of iv meds now cuz I need it now. Got my catheter removed. Gonna take a nap. Tired Tired Tired. Thank u. Hope ur well. Talk later girl

Just found out my pain pump button wasn't working, so the whole time I have been without pain meds and I feel fine. Still just so tired, but was walking the halls at 4am and on way to walk some more. Got gatorade and popsicles down, feeling good, little hesitant about the jello LOL karmagirl I was nervous as heck too, even told my hubby let's just go home, bc I was scheduled at 8 but Dr had an emergency so it didn't happen until 10. Glad I didn't leave. (((Hugs))) to everyone going today!

Ladyspl, WOW no pain meds.. Glad you were able to make it through ok with out them. The pain pump and the catheter bug me more than the surgery itself. lol I see you are at AGH. I'll be at Magee on Monday. :-)

I had the pain pump... But no catheter .....

Mommy327, I was wondering about the catheter that everyone had in after the surgery. I was told by my doctor that they would put in the catheter after i was "snoozing" and take it out before I fully woke up....so maybe you did actually have a catheter?? If you did...I'm glad you had no idea! LOL!
