Title: Leaving in a few minutes for fistula surgery
Post by: cattlekid on September 02, 2011, 07:16:07 AM

Have to be at the hospital in a few minutes for fistula surgery.  Luckily, it's a 20 minute drive up the street because I didn't sleep well at all last night.  Restless leg was getting bad so I doubled up on the Requip and that got me to settle down.  Probably won't be up to typing anything (at least with capitalization LOL) later but will try to log back on and let everyone know how it went.

Thanks everyone!  All seemed to go relatively well except I had nausea coming out of anesthesia even with two anti-nausea meds on board.  Got a shot in the behind right before I left and that seemed to take care of it.  Went to bed right away after stopping at pharmacy for pain meds.  Pain meds are working and I'm keeping arm elevated as much as possible.  Felt the "buzzing" already.
