Surgery OT
 

I posted this in NM on the old board, but wanted my friends here to know what is happening.


I went to the dr yesterday and I will be having surgery soon, but there is no set date. He is putting me in as soon as there is a morning cancellation. It is an LAVH and he will do it outpatient if nothing goes wrong. Everyone else wants me to stay for at least a couple of days. He won't make me take a pain pump, and will take out the IV bag and leave a heplock. He will push for my husband to be there when I go to sleep.

So right now I am not feeling anything. I am glad that it will be taken care of, and hope that this method will make it so that I can get through surgery. My fear of being hooked up, IV meds and hospitals is completely overpowering, as I have cancelled surgery twice before. However, I have been one sick puppy, so will try very hard to go through with this.

Sounds like you have been in a lot of pain for a long time, and it is time to be done with the pain. I have a friend who had this laparoscopic procedure done just about two months ago. She was doing well and without pain so quickly, it was amazing. It is wonderful what can be done without major incisions these days.

I wish for you a speedy surgery, a speedy recovery, and better yet, days without pain.
