Members cmwise1 Posted June 13, 2008 Members Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 2hot, you will do wonderfully. Take some good music with you on your ipod or whatever you have, listen to it before the surgery. This surgery is a piece if cake for the docs..you will be in the RR before you even know it. I had mine out in 95 and was out of work 3 days. The Zofran is good stuff. Get some good pain meds!! You will burn through this , baby!

Members whiskeywoman Posted June 13, 2008 Members Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 2Hot...You will be just fine honey, trust me.Because of the type of surgery you are having, your recovery will be so much quicker....A lot quicker than the old fashined kind, wich the recovery was at least 6 to 8 weeks.Here is hoping that your recovery is quick and smooth, and you will be back in the saddle in no time.((HUGS))Yeah my keyboard is still screwed up, but, the new one is on the way, until then, I will deal.

Members nikki2076 Posted June 13, 2008 Members Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Most of these are outpatient procedures nowadays so I know things have changed since the 80's and early 90's less invasive. I wish you a speedy recovery. Good luck hun!! *HUGS* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members toohotcatmom Posted June 13, 2008 Author Members Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts!It will be an outpatient procedure so no overnight (yea!). Tig, Angel5 - Versaid and Zofran - got it! Tig, I'm gonna wear a little casual t-shirt dress so I won't have to worry about fitting into something.I'm really nervous so the doctor has given me a valium to take the moring of...to help me relax. Hubby will be with me and is already putting me through the deep breathing exercises....he's such a good man!Thanks again everyone and I'll be back on as soon after as possible.2hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ladylove Posted June 17, 2008 Members Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Good Luck today....I know you'll do great. I hear the recovery from L- surgery is much easier for the patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leslieanne Posted June 17, 2008 Members Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 If you need a little something to help you sleep the night before - try Tylenol PM (1 tab) - usually takes the edge off so it's easier to fall asleep. Don't worry about having to ask for Versed and Zofran - both are standard of care in this day and age since the goal of most hospitals/surgicenters is to get you awake and home in a relatively short time frame. Wearing a loose shift/dress is a perfect choice. As for being nervous and/or a bit anxious - that's completely normal - after all you are being put to sleep and loosing complete control for awhile - as I tell my patients (I'm a surgeon) - if you're not at least a little bit nervous then you're a little bit crazy. You'll be in our thoughts and prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
