PRE OPS: Never had surgery? Here's what to expect!

Excellent post, thank you!

I really appreciate the time you take to post things like this, Elizabeth (:

How come your DS surgery made you look like some kind of Cat type creature?  That thing looks freaky...

I did not know it was real, I thought it was a stuffed animal?

I wanted to add the anesthesia fog I had for several weeks into recovery. I felt very listless and preferred to stare at a spot on the wall than watch television, because the pictures moved around too much. I just couldn't focus on much at all for a while.

LOVE THIS. thank you for this post. very timely for me, and very helpful AND comforting too, as my upcoming surgery will be my first major surgery ever. thank you, thank you!
