Hi
This afternoon, they did a fissurectomy and LIS. In recovery, I had a good amount of pain. The surgeon came back and put more local around the area. I seemed alot more awake after this surgery. I am not in a lot of pain as of now. I do notice that the local is wearing off and it is becoming sore. I took 1 pain med but debating about taking a valium or waiting for a while. The area is still bleeding quite a bit more than the last surgery. I had to change the gauze twice.
Now the waiting and healing begins. I have never been so scared and nervous going into this surgery. I think I was more afraid of the pain afterwards. They didn't give me valium before going into the OR. They gave me something for the nausea. As they were setting up everything, they gave me something else in my IV and off to sleep I went. Work up 20-30 minutes in recovery. Meds are kicking in, can't see straight. Will write more tomorrow
