I admit congrats EP!! I admit Sweetpea, forget Parcheesi you'll be ready for checkers. I admit surgery was done on Thurs, I was home in less than 6 hrs. I didn't have general anesthetic, problems with my blood sugar being too high. 19 when it should have been between 4 & 7, gave me 2 metformin, brought it down to 18.2. They weren't sure if they were going to do it, and came close to giving me a shot of insulin but then there was the danger of my sugar going too low. So they decided to proceed. The anesthesiologist was able to talk me into getting an epidural, took 2 of them to talk me into it, and going with the sedation. They were right, it hurt more to have the needle in the hand than the epidural. Doc holding me in place told me my legs would feel warm and it wasn't him peeing on me. I told him if he was gonna pee on me, he'd better turn around cuz I was gonna pee right back on him. I've been crampy since then, and still bleeding lightly, really tired too, but I'm recovering and doing well. I admit they wouldn't let me leave til I could pee, but dammit I hadn't had anything to drink since midnight, it was now about 3pm and I was dry. So they decided to start the saline solution and within 10 minutes I was outta there. Told me to leave and that was it. No signing out, no trip down to the exit by wheelchair, didn't even call a cab, just told me where the phones were for the cab companies. Yeah, I was impressed by that.
