Day of the surgery Part 2

Surgery took roughly 3 hours. At 10:50 the nurse came out and told Jeff that he was closing me up and at 11:30 Dr Shapiro came out and told Jeff that everything went well. I was in recovery for 2 hours. I woke up for a little bit and the nurse said that the surgery went well. I DIDN'T feel any pain at all. I was wrapped so tight in blankets. Then the rolled me up to my room on the surgical care unit around 1:15. I was still out of it but I could hear talking. I came to around 2pm. See below. This is a picture of me right after I woke up.

I had to nostril tubes in inserted. They did remove one of them when I woke up but the second one didn't come out til the next day.

At 6pm that night they got me out of bed. I tried to walk. I walked to out the door and then had to turn around and go back. I think my blood pressure dropped because I felt to weak and the my hearing started to go. They put on me on oxygen and then I started to feel better.

I then sat up in my chair for a few hours. They had to fix my IV because the vein in my arm must have stopped working. My hand began to swell. The switched arms. They put the IV in my hand and worked very well.

I went to bed around 10 pm that night and slept choppy most of the night.

Stay tuned for Day 2...........
