Hi, all! Doing okay so far.
Let's start some basic timeline info:
My surgery took place around 10 am, and I was in recovery and awake by 12:15 pm. I was wheeled over to my room by a few minutes after 1 pm. Lunch was served at 2, and my first PT was at 3:45.
I was given a spinal and light general anesthesia for the surgery, rather than twilight, since I am notorious from waking enough to be aware with twilight. I came out from the anesthesia very quickly after surgery was done, and didn't have the grogginess I get from the heavy stuff, so it was just fine. I got an adductor canal nerve block as well.
More to come later. For now, I've had dinner and it's time for a nap!
