Default HI All.....About my surgery......

I had my bladder surgery on Tues. and have literally slept for 3 days after. I think my body is just totally wiped out from all the surgeries. This surgery was a little more involved than originally thought but the dr. said it came out fine.
The nurses and Anesthesiologist had a terrible time finding a vein for the IV and in the end tried my Port. The port didn't get in enough medication in by the time they were ready to start surgery but they put me out and then tried moving the needle in the port a cpl times and ended up trying a few more times to find a good vein and finally did and removed the needle from the Port. Then the dr. gave me Keflex and it caused me to itch like crazy and then had to give me Benedryl through the IV. The whole ordeal was crazy!
I now have 2 small incisions inside my upper thighs (that's very painful!) So I'm now walking like a cowboy! lol
