The surgery was not terribly painful. They didn't knock me out but rather gave me something to relax and then numbed the area with lidocaine. There were a few times it was very uncomfortable, hurt a little and at one point-though I was totally numb-I could fully feel him reaching around inside my abdominal cavity and touching stuff.......it didn't hurt all that much, but it was a very disgusting and disturbing feeling. The surgery took about 40 minutes.
So the journey thus far has had some bumps. There are days I am very depressed and there are pressures I wish I didn't have, but today I am grateful. I am very happy that I am able to at least begin with the type of dialysis that, for me, will be the better choice.
Thanks again for all your prayers......today they were answered!
do you mean lidocaine? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of news I like to hear. Prayer works.
ReplyDeleteGreat to Hear Rambo Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteThank you Lord... Glad it went without a hitch..
ReplyDeleteyoure the f**king Terminator!
ReplyDeleteI did PD for a little over 2 years, then I had to go back to Hemo. Trust me, PD is a MUCH better option. Takes a while to get used to sleeping with the tube but sure beats going to a clinic. I find them SO depressing.
ReplyDeleteSO glad to hear prayers were answered and it went well! I'm betting you'll feel 1000% better once you've been thru a round or two of dialysis!! You're on the mend! Looking forward to having you back to full strength and health!
