Is this your first surgical experience? I've had five major surgeries, and I definitely know what it's like wondering whether or not you did indeed have surgery. It's only the numbing pain on the surgical site that tells you. Demerol was your friend? Percocet was mine, lol. Your sleeping patterns and that 'enjoyment' of the nurse call buttons brings me back to the times I was in the hospital. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing, but hey...no harm in recollection. Anyway, hope your recovery goes well. Take care!! wow. Is this your first surgical experience?

Outside of a few scrapes, bumps and nearly lost teeth my visits to the hospital have been somewhat tame. Not this time baby! Percocet is currently my good friend in the post-hospital phase of recovery. I'm still a little upset that I didn't get the usual morphine hookup, but after the first injection one of the nurses noticed a small rash around the injection site, so that ended my chances of IV morphine and required the use of my right leg as a pin cushion for the Demerol shots. Strangely enough, after a few shots it hurt a bit more than the incision sites themselves. Yes, this is was my first ever surgery.

Here's to a quick, full recovery! Glad to hear you’re doing reasonably well despite that nightmare. Here’s to a quick, full recovery!
