well this was my best anesthesia ever no nausea I am thrilled, and feel so good. I was a little nervous this a.m.

well I went in the O.R. @ 8a.m. Barix, Langhorne with Dr. Lam. came out of surgery @ noon as was out of there by 1:30
 had a facelift  no eyes they were done before and I had L hand carpal tunnel surgery this is the best surgery i ever  sleep  sitting up. that could cause me to watch informercials & buy everything I see and check out QVC  & HSN

Susan, sounds like you are doing great! For me, recovering from the anesthesia was the worst part of my facelift. So you are already through the most difficult part of the surgery. :)

ususally the anesthesia is  the worst for me to, to me  the recovery from that is worse then the surgery, when I had my thigh lift I dry heaved so much I asked my DH to put a pillow over my face & smother me I felt so bad I wanted to die then I realized it was the Dilaudid they gave me for pain.

my Brachio was done after the thigh & I wouddnt take anything for pain I told them the pain was better then being nauseous, my BP went up to 240/120, so I took liquid lor-tab cause I had that before & it did the trick, so today I had a face/neck  lift had the same nesthsia Dr and when we were discussing post=op pain mainagement I told him about th dilaudid and I didn't want so my choices were limited I told him I wanted the lor-tab(hydrocodone) and my nurse from previous thigh liftwas there and then he remembered me from last time, I said please give me extra Zofran I don't want to be nauseous I would rather be in pain. he ordered the liquid but after surgery  I was stiill numb from anesthesia that I didn't need anything. and I was not sick at all, I
was so amazed that i wasn't sick and able to have cracker 30 minutes after I came out of surgery
