Hi Y'all,
I'm back!!! Second surgery went well, although a little more painful. First time, I had an epidural, but this time they opted for nerve block and GA. Consequently, woke up feeling very nauseated. Took consolation in knowing that all the nasty pain from my back to my toes was now gone entirely and I will soon be up on my good hips and getting back into the mainstream of life. After some meds. for the nausea, I was ok, but did not have any appetite that first night, but ok afterwards.
Had to have 1 pint of blood with the first surgery, but had to have 3 this time, 1 during the surgery, and the other two post-op. No problems, just a little fever for a short time then that was gone.
My largest concern was when they pulled the drain out. First time, it was really painful, the worst stinging/burning. This time, no pain at all, didn't feel a thing. There I was, worrying myself all this time for nothing.
Hey Texas, what happened with baby cheetah, Toto? I didn't get to see any "Animal Planet", as it wasn't on the tv in the hospital, so also missed "Wild Russia".
Pleased to return to the fold and will keep you up with my progress and look forward to getting back on track with all the other threads.
