Good Surgery

Just an update to let everyone know that my surgery yesterday went fine with no complications of any kind.

I got some pain meds at the hospital in my IV right after I woke up, and one 5 mg oxycodone at that time, but I haven't taken anything else other than ibuprofin (shhh! don't tell my gastroenterologist about that!). And today, the only new pain I have is a very sore throat from the breathing tube the anesthesiologist put in.

No cramps, no bleeding, nada.

My legs are still a little wobbly from the anesthesia, which always seems to linger for me, and I'm even more tired than normal, but I have to say that it's a better day-after-surgery than I've ever had before!! Oh, and this is the first of my seven surgeries that I didn't wake up from the anesthesia in a major asthma attack. Woohoo!! :-)

I hope to get the biopsy results when I see my OB for my June 18 post-surgical check up, but it's unlikely the polyps were anything but benign.

And hopefully this will put an end to my trouble keeping my iron levels up!!

I'm so pleased you are feeling good and everything went well! I hope this is the end to the troubles with you iron levels and maybe a little less fatigue due to that too. Thinking of you :)
