LOL, on another note, I just found this thread (again). LOL. I say again, cuz I vaguely remember reading it the first time in my own morphine haze thinking first: Happy Birthday to our sweet and hilarious GT, then second thinking that perhaps you might be dead, curled in a fetal position dumping in the back of the bus to hell. ROFLMAO! This morning I find this thread and realize I hadn't dreamed it!!! So glad surgery went well (from the photo) now we just need lots more piccies and a blow by blow!!! Are you up and walking already???!!! I thought of you this morning as I did my walk, walk!!!! 1 1 Losingit2018 and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreenTealael 25,430 Posted July 16, 2019 Arrived at the hospital at 630 am. Registered and was taken to preop area to collect samples amd change clothes. I was immediately started on lactaded ringers (IV drip), vitals taken , met with the anesthesiologists then my surgeon. Asked final questions i was unclear about. & received answers Taken into the OR and was pit under general anesthesia. Awaken briefly in recovery where i advocated for the proper pain meds (morphine does not work for me), fell asleep again to be awaken when i was in my room where my lovely Boyfriend was already waiting. Amazing. Feeling. Labs & vitals every couple hours but I got up to walk around. Told my Guy to go home around 11pm so he could rest properly. Walked again 4-5 am, then started the Water protocol at 6 am but fell asleep again. Now im resuming the drinking amd spirometerji All in all not terrible 😍 3 2 1 Kris77, FluffyChix, ProudGrammy and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
