Hey guys, I'm just checking in. I had surgery on Tuesday. I was supposed to go home today but I have low potassium so they're keeping me an extra day. I'm sore and so drugged up all I do is sleep. Never thought I wouldn't have the energy to talk. I just want to sleep. I feel so so, but I'm sure it'll get better. Sinus headache very annoying.

    Hi Sandee, I had surgery on Tuesday as well. Came home yesterday. I opted for no drugs in the hospital or home so I'm having a little trouble sleeping. Hang I'm there. Glad you're well

Sandee, so glad the worst part is over for you. I too had that horrible headache and I was kept an extra day as well. I was having respiratory problems and my pulmanologist was called in. I had breathing treatments every 4 hours till I left the hospital. They told me the headache was from the anesthesia so when I got home I didn't take any of the hydrocodone I had. This is definitely NOT EASY but it does get easier after the first two weeks. Sending up healing prayers for you. Take care, walk and sip sip sip sip sip.

Hey SandeeD... I was wandering how everything went and I came across this thread. :-) Glad to see that you are home and in "recovery" mode. Best wishes and a speedy recovery to ya!
