Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. I came through the surgery quite well and no surprises were there. The anesthesiologists were right on top of my meds all thru the 5 1/2 hour procedure as I awoke with no side effects and was wanting to get up and walk at 4 in the morning. The nurses asked me to wait awhile until they had orders for me to get up at least.
The surprise came the next day when the surgeon was continually told that I was up and around the 3rd floor a number of times and could actually handle my own drains. She said I was one of two patients that she had that "bounced back" like I did. My surgeon visited me last evening and agreed to release me as long as I rested and didn't believe that I was out of the woods. Well at noon I was finally released with those orders, the residents had forgotten to write the order when they were making rounds. So again communication becomes an issue with me towards the medical center. I do have a little pain with coughing which is to be expected although it doesn't debilitate me justs make me hold my side. Tylenol has been helping although tomorrow I get motrin and then I will be more relaxed. Yes I have done this with very little pain medicines.
As you can see I am back up and running a little anyway, I have a little energy and am feeling pretty good today but I am going to nap now so I will say ttfn.
Hugs, Deb
