Post surgery neck...
Everything seemed to go well with the surgery yesterday... I remember laying there, breathing in the oxygen. When I started to get a bit nervous(I wanted to sit up). The nurse asked me if I was claustrophobic... I said yes. So she held the mask further from my face(it had been tight against it). Things started to get very blurry, so I closed my eyes. Next thing you know. I'm waking up in the recovery room... my throat feels like someone assaulted me. I think they gang-banged me when I wasn't looking. ;-)
I think it might have taken me longer to come out of it then planned. All together, we were in the hospital about 6 hours.
I call Monday about setting a follow-up appointment. I can leave the bandage on until Monday or replace with new(if it appears to be bleeding through).
They gave me "Percocet" this time. Must take it with food. I guess it's stronger than Vicodin... I know both of these pain killers are very popular with co-workers... I decided to take the Percocet only when knowing I'm gonna be home. Just in case I have some side effects.
