Went into surgery late Monday afternoon. Procedure went well and was in recovery a little longer than anticipated due to elevated blood pressure. I ended up staying an extra day in the hospital due to elevated white blood cell count but it appears it was due to the stress of surgery and i was sent home yesterday. I have been home now about 20 hours and am so happy to be home. My incisions are doing well and I have been up and moving every hour as instructed. Harding thing is ASKING for and ACCEPTING help from others. For those approaching surgery, be patient with yourself. I was not certain whether I was supposed to be feeling some of the things I was physically but knew that "this too shall pass" barring serious pain. I was not reluctant to ask my doctor, the nurses or aids any questions about what I was experiencing and found that it was all very normal. I am anxious to get back to the gym but know that I have to be patient with myself and take it slow in the beginning. I will post more as things progress.
