Home from surgery

Hi everyone, I got home late last night. Surgery was Tuesday morning. Surgery itself went well, but I had complications from the morphine and was in ICU for a while. Fortunuately for me I don't remember any of it, but my mom said it was pretty scary. The drs. were great, and everyone took good care of me. THey were worried about some brain damage so I had to take some tests and wait for an MRI, which is why I didn't get out till last night. But they think everything is ok. I will update once I'm feeling better. Just wanted to stop in and thank everyone for their support. Sally

Glad you are home and doing better. That sounds scary. Did you have some type of allergic reaction to the morphine? Well you are on the losers bench now so enjoy the ride. Julia

Thanks Julia! I'm still kind of confused about it myself, so I will have to get more information. I think it was officially an overdose on the morphine, from the PCA, but I thought that couldn't happen, but apparantely it did. One of the nurses said it could have been a combination of too much and then a bad reaction. I'll definitely fill you in when I know more. I'm just so glad to be home now. Thanks again, Sally

Hi "Sally"! I'm so glad you're home and now on you're way to recovery. My husband and I were just talking about you Wednesday night because I remembered from talking to you at the meeting in February that you had surgery early April but couldn't remember the exact date. I'm sorry you had that scary complication...but it sounds like everything checked out okay. It would be great to see you at the Salem meeting this month...that is if you're up to it by then. Hope everything from here on out goes smoothly for you.

Thanks Michelle! You're the best. I do hope to make it to the Salem group. It will be nice to be up and around. Thanks for your message. Sally

Glad you're home and appreciate you letting us know how things went. Not as smoothly as we'd like, but I am sure you will be feeling better soon! Sorry for your mom's worries! Patty

Thanks Patty! I'm just glad to be joining you on the loser's bench. And thanks for the thoughts about my mom. Poor thing! Sally

Wow Sally, Glad you are home and safe. Feel better and take care of yourself. Michele

Thank you so much. I am feeling really great now, actually! Thanks again, Sally
