Thanks for the quick update, Stacie! Sounds like everything went well and you didn't freak out too much at all. I hate needles, so the IV scares me quite a bit. Did they knock you out right away after giving it to you or did you get some stuff just to relax you before the actual anesthesia?
The packing sounds really uncomfortable, but it seems like most people get that after their surgeries. Did you get any pain meds to take?
Rest up and keep us updated when you're up to it! I wish you well with the rest of your recovery!
