I'm now first night in a rehab hospital. The surgery at Mayo went well but they gave me oxycodon or something like that and I had plummeting blood pressure and could not do PT as I could not stand up. Also the nerve block in my hip affected blood pressure so I was sick for 2 days til that came out and I just got on tylenol with codeine. I am a real light weight when it comes to pain pills.
So today insurance finally agreed to letting me into rehab, and I left Mayo and tomorrow I start at St. Vincent's Southside. My husband goes back to Rome tomorrow so I'm pretty weepy but my friend are calling and I am determined to be a grown up about it. I still can't believe I really did it, up to the moments in pre-op, but I did. And all the Mayo Florida people who cared for me were extremely nice.
Whew. When I'm less emotional I'll start a post op thread if I can remember how!
