We made the long trek home from Boston yesterday. It was tough and I was exhausted but better today.
So the surgery went fine with the small? complication of the nip on the artery in my leg. I havent been up to pursuing that yet but I will. I do think I would be alot farther along without that complication. I spent 4 days in ICU with little pain meds and no movement because of it! They didn't want to give me much til they figured out what they were going to do. I think they hoped it would close on its own. Instead, I have 13 staples in the groin...fun, fun, fun!
I am well into recovery. I feel alot depends on how well the pain is managed. If I let it get away from me I am in trouble. I am on mostly motrin 400 mg every 5 hours. At night I take an oxy in the middle of the night.
I am already sleeping pretty mcuh flat out. Probably cause I was like that in ICU right away. Plus I have a minimal incision.
Well, it wasn't fun , but I made it and I can feel the recovery progressing.
I have lots of questions but will try to look them up under post surgery first.
Thanks to all who were there for me.
