I finally had surgery on Nov 8th (election day)! It went really well and really fast. I had to be there at 6am and was in the operating room by 8:15am. My husband came with me and my pastor came up that morning to prayer for me before the surgery. Unfortunately, my pain wasn't well controlled most of the time until I started the oral pain meds. I am not sure my IV was quite in my arm right. My arm is still tender and bruised but getting better. I am trying to make it on tylonel instead of the pain meds because of the problems narcotics cause. Overall though, it wasn't terrible pain-wise following the surgery though getting all the fluids down was difficult. I was able to go home on Wednesday which was good for both me and my husband. I learned some things through this process including:
1. Sneezing sucks - big time
2. It's really hard me to sleep on my back
3. My husband is amazing
4. Projectile vomiting sucks (specially when it is milk)
More to be added as I think about it....
