This is definitely the most unpleasant thing I have ever had done. I feel helpless, sore and uncomfortable. But I guess the surgery went well. I'm blessed to have my father here to take care of me... he's pretty great.
My initial experience wasn't that great. They told me to get there at 5:30 am, but then informed me that I would be Dr.Phillips second patient. I didn't bring any book or magazine, so I asked if I could leave to go get one. The receptionist told me no. Petty, I get it, but it was still frustrating. Seriously, a Walgreen's was across the street.
I tried to be friendly, but I think the people just assumed I was dumb. I'd ask a question about something they were doing or giving to me, and they acted like it was a big fucking inconvenience to them. I asked what brand of screws they put in me, and they kept telling me bio-absorbent. Yeah I get it, tell me what company makes them. They seemed surprised I would ask that. Why wouldn't I want to know who makes them? Good god, just give me an answer.
The anesthesiologist gave me a femoral nerve block, which makes it so I can't feel my whole left leg. Its worked up until today. I guess the percocet will help with that.
Time to take one an doze. I'll more updates later.
