I woke up not even knowing I'd been taken to surgery! The nurse gave me medicine to "relax" me while I was in the waiting area. The next thing I knew she was waking me up asking me my pain level. I won't even pretend, the first few hours were awful. It took a little while for me to receive enough pain meds and I felt a heaviness as if someone were sitting on my stomach and chest. I slept a lot, too. By midnight I was feeling just fine. Currently experiencing no pain and zero sleepiness. I haven't yet felt any hunger, either.
Complications: my blood pressure went through the roof as a result of the medications I was given. I've also been experiencing some pretty severe tachycardia. During the surgery they discovered an abscess on my tonsils, so I likely will be having surgery to remove that today. But all of those are minor in relation to how amazing I feel. I hope all of my Feb 9th Sleever buddies had good experiences as well.
