Surgery C2-T2 Posterior Cervical Laminectomy and Fusion
Hi,
Sorry it took me a week to post after the surgery. Surgery went very well but during the surgery my heart rate dropped significantly for like 3 minutes but no heart attack or stroke. I did not wake up until after 8 pm surgery ended around 1:30 pm. I saw my Mom who passed away in Feb 2006 I was singing songs about my great nephew looped out of my mind so I was in like ICU the first night. So let's talk about the pain. I was in hospital for three nights. I slept on my back without any problems! I have pain but nothing like before the surgery. I take oxycodone 5 mg 1 to 2 pills every 4 hrs. Gabapentin 300 mg caps 3 times a day. Robaxin 750mg 1 to 2 tabs every 8hrs. I sleep on my back it is hard to lie down but my Dad has been great with getting me iced packs for my neck and back. Go back to get sutures removed on TUes JUly 1st at 11:30 am. Any questions let me know!
