Yesterday was my last surgery. The anesthesiologist really did her job, I have absolutely no recollection of even the trip into the surgical suite. None. Yesterday afternoon and evening I was in a complete fog. I managed to watch a little TV (about 10 minutes at a time) until I dozed off. Tried to read, but only got a page or two further in my book until the book literally fell out of my hand. I guess it was the residual anesthesia combined with the pain meds.
I came home with a super-duper pain ball…wear it like a fanny pack and I guess it delivers the meds directly into blood stream? I dunno how it works exactly, but I also have two different oral pain meds, too. And this time I am not shy about using them. Every small physical move brings on an ouchouchouch…..
And still fuzzy in the brain. I am actually having a difficult time tapping out this little post.
But I hear Dr. B and Suzi did a great job on the reconstruction. Don’t know about that either, as I’m not supposed to peek under the dressings until I go to their office on Monday. Seems like a long time away to me now.
More later when I have a bit more cognitive functioning.
