Thursday, Friday, Saturday

My surgery was done on Thursday and I didn’t feel half bad … they used a local anesthetic that made me think the pain wasn’t going to be as bad as I expected…

I was discharged and got home late afternoon on Friday and went straight to bed to rest. Finn was glad to have me home!

The pain is worse today and I have a sore throat and some congestion but I’m going to sit up and knit a while … and later today I’ll do a COVID test just to make sure I didn’t catch a bug 🐜 in the hospital. The sore throat could certainly be from being intubated.

  16. So good to hear that you are home and that your surgery went well. I don’t know know if I’d want to go with local anesthetic just because I’m rather chicken. I’d prefer not to know what was going on around me! (Head in the sand philosophy.) Stay healthy and get lots of rest!
