Wow... so, Ive been away.... I had my surgery on May 17th i the afternoon... But 7pm I was in the recovery room feeling a lil pain, but definitely nothing like i imagined... The only issue i had was the nurse that was complaining telling the other nurse that if they dont get my blood pressure under control i would bleed out.... (wait a minute)... LOL... I opened my eyes and said "Im not sleep, I can hear you, what is going on"... finally i was told that that particular nurse was overreacting... later that evening turned into the next morning pretty quickly with me waking up to Saturday morning and asking "when can i get up... cause i felt a little sore, but no pain and no issues other than having to pee every hour... Soon after they got me up and let me walk... the nurse kinda just said... Go ahead,... I got a lil nervous because i thought she was gonna walk the hallways with me... but she wanted me to go alone... so i sat for a few and then I went... and i was a little slumped but again NOT IN PAIn.... fast forward, the leak test which is simply you taking sips of dawn dish detergent (cant convince me otherwise) once i was okayed and told i was good and could go home... GREAT!.. Got home, my kids were excited to see me.. and that night sleeping was hard, not cause of site pain etc... for some reason it just felt like my whole body would get stiff after sleeping every like 30 minutes.. and it was extremely hard to move... So sunday was a real relaxing i dont want to do anything day... But by Monday, 3 days post op i was walking and walking and walking... all around my neighborhood.... Best decision ever..

OMGosh, I'd have freaked out hearing that nurse say you were going to bleed out??!!

So glad you're feeling human again! Let us know how your journey is going...

Holy cow! Did she think hearing you might bleed out would LOWER your blood pressure? Gah! The stoopid, it's everywherrrrre. Glad you had her written up, she needs to think carefully about saying that kind of thing out loud. Hopefully she'll think twice next time.

Congrats on your success so far!
