Finally home after staying with my mom the past week after surgery. Just listening to some tunes and getting settled in and taking it easy. I hope everyone is doing well and has a great weekend. I'm trying to get caught up on the boards now but they seem to move pretty fast.
The surgey went extremely well. It was at one of those daytime surgery facilities. The doctor was really sweet as well as the nurses. But I kind of felt like they were pushing me out the door. There was a lot of people there having surgery and it kind of had an assembly line atmosphere, but everyone was great.
Recovery is slow but it seems to be coming along fine. The first few days were really slow going and I pretty much stayed off my feet. I was really freaked out to take my first shower and use the bathroom the first time, but it wasn't painful. The pain started getting better on the fifth and sixth day, and today is much better. Still some discomfort but not having any trouble with light lifting. It was a really great time at my mom's though. It gave us a chance to visit and talk, and I'm kind of sad in a way that I had to come home. I should be back to normal in a week or two, so just taking it easy and not pushing myself.
Oh, and I've been getting a lot of hot flashes the past 3 days and breast tenderness has returned, which is a really good sign that my testosterone levels have finally dropped. I'm very happy about that.
Thanks. The worst part for me was being put to sleep. Whatever drugs they gave me was a little too strong and I didn't like the way it made me feel. Then being wheeled into the surgery room and given nitrous oxide of all things. :\ Atleast I was out quickly.
