Well, I have been home a couple of hours and to be honest, it was not that bad - however, I am pumped on Tylenol at the moment and will possibly need more as the night goes on.
I think I lost my dignity for sure and have no idea how you women cope with the procedures you haev to undergo - you get my vote anyday - however, the worst bit was the local anesthetic and that really made my eyes water, then it had not worked enough and I felt the initial incision - however, another needle of the numbing fluid and all was well. It went quicker than i thought, although had complications on one side that led to a hell of a lot of blood loss - bp dropped a bit but I was fine.
I just lay there trying to concentrate on various things - controlled breathing by thinking you are breathing in a blue mist. I thought of my wife, my work mates, our son and as silly as it is - you lot - all of you.
You realise the value of friends when laid there and have a surgeon looking at you through glasses.
The loss of blood and bp gave me a blistering headache and I am bordering a migraine - so am gonna go do as my wife says, leave this keyboard alone for today and goto bed.
I just wanted to say thanks to you all for support and let you know am little light headed and headachy and getting very sore - but am home safe and well and am gonna rest. Am typing side ways with feet up - damned near impossible for me.
Take care guys - I am off to bed and if Brandy smiles at me one more time, I will remove each tabby stripe as I swear he knows and hes laughing!
