Today is the day!!! Ive been waiting for a while and now the day has arrived. Its funny cause when I was trying to figure out when to get it done I was on the fence if I should just wait a little longer, so glad I didn’t. These past few weeks I’ve been hurting so much more then it has been. Not sure if maybe my body knew it was happening or the fact that I haven’t been able to take any ibuprofen or anything for pain or its just actually reached its limit. Regardless, it’s happening in the next couple of hours. I’m sitting back in pre-op waiting for them to come prep me and take me in. I’m ready but starting to get a little nervous.
They had this awesome blanket in the pre-op though, it was like a big bag and then they hooked it to a warmer and it blew warm air in it and just made it so cozy.
I was writing that when they all started coming in. I got my IV started and the Dr came in to say we’re ready to go. So then the nurse that will be in the OR came as well as the anesthesiologist and his tech. As they called it I got a “cocktail” to relax me. Then I got my spinal tap done and I’m not sure what else. I remember being in the surgery room and and when a few of them lifted me in to the table I said “you all just lifted 200lbs, you’re so strong.” And that was it lol
Woke up in recovery and was in and out of it in there and then moved to my room. Not feeling too good I was more or less trying to sleep off my anesthesia. Some ice chips and some chicken broth were helping to do the trick.
After a bit the PT guy came in and he had me do a few exercises in bed and then got me up for a short walk. That was exhausting.
