1 Day Post-op - Just got Home!
Just got home. NYU was a pleasure. I loved Lenox Hill but NYU was amazing. The nurses, the staff, the admin, everything. Was a great experience. Surgery was initially planned for 5pm and the night before Admissions called at I got moved to a 12nn surgery, 10:30AM arrival. Wasn't thrilled bc I had appts and work commitments till 1pm on Thursday, but, what are you going to do.
I went into the OR at 1230pm and was done by 2pm. Woke up in recovery around 3pm, recall seeing Dr. Kurian and her telling me it was a piece of cake, she fixed the hernia and all I remember asking her was "did you have to open me up" she said, no, was able to do it lap!
Got to my room about 530-6 and had a pretty uneventful night. A lot of nausea caused from the anesthesia. Also had a hard time urinating but mainly due to the fact that I was incredibly dehydrated. Woke up in the middle of the night, excruciating headache and begged them for addt'l saline in my IV. It worked bc I was pee-ing within an hr and the headache started to subside.
This morning I had an espogram at 9 and was discharged at 12nn. Didn't see Kurian today, she came to see my while I was down in Radiology getting the esophogram but I saw her residents several times. Right now, I'm at home, drinking a protein shake, already walked the dogs and my mom and I (who came up from Philly) are going to see a movie at 6pm.
All is good in the world.
