Had the Surgery Posted: 01-15-06 10:11am
Just wanted to let you guys know I had the
surgery. It has been 12 days today. I
am still on the percocet but the pain is
getting less and less. I am having pins
and needle feelings in the upper part of
my legs but the pain is gone. I am also
experienceing arm aches and my pinky on my
left hand is totally numb I can't feel it
at all. I wanted to let you know I ended
up in intensive care after the surgery
because my oxegen level dropped so low and
I was having a hard time breathing. I
haven't smoked in twelve days so maybe
when I have the next surgery done in march
it will be easier on me

This is good news, you are well on your
way to feeling better. It is going to be
a hard long road ahead and with the hard
work you put in, the rewards can be
amazing.
The best thing you said was that you have
not smoked in 12 days. Please keep that
going, that will aid you in healing so
much faster along with good hard work you
will be a marathon runner in no time. :)
not really but hey you gotta have goals...
:) buttons, you are going to be so happy
when you break free from this pain!
I have yet to be pain free but with the
right combination of meds and an active
schedule with no smoking and very little
drinking, I can keep it at bey.
Keep us updated,
brian

Buttons,
keep up the good work, I would think that
the pins and needle feelings are from the
surgery and should lessen as time goes on.
The after surgery recovery is serious
business, take it seriously do your part
and good luck on a full recovery.
