Glad you are on your way to less pain.

8. You'll feel better now that you're home.

Doesn't the post-anesthesia feel horrible? Sleep, sleep, sleep; it's the best thing you can do for yourself!

[CTyankee]

13. yes, it does! I had to eat something and tried some chicken soup. I think they gave me something

like a twilight sleep where I was basically sleeping but awake enough to respond to my dr.s questions.

15. Best wishes for a healthy recovery, CTyankee.

Sorry I missed the OP about the surgery.

17. It all goes back to my very severe shingles attack over a year ago...followed by post herpetic

neuralgia and this. And opiods don't work on nerve pain.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. Welcome home!

Wishing that you feel better every single day!

[CTyankee]

18. feeling more sure under my feet. walking better. stronger. that's encouraging...

[Rhiannon12866]

19. It was so great to read your positive post!

You certainly sound like you're improving all the time! Thanks so much for letting us know!

[CTyankee]

20. but I stillhave some nerve pain and that concerns me so I'm calling my doc tomorrow...

the whole point of this thing was to get RID of the nerve pain, fer chrissake!

[Rhiannon12866]

21. It's a good idea to keep in close contact with your doctor

To make sure you're healing on schedule and to address any concerns or questions you have. I've had surgeries and for the last one I had to call in and report everyday. That really made a huge difference, since I tend to be a worrier. But your attitude is positive and it sounds like you're recovering well. Sometimes it just takes time... Let us know how you're doing.

22. It's just a lot of trouble and the efforts of lots of medical personnel and I want it to be for

something. So many people were involved -- nurses.the doc, the orderlies pushing me into the OR. Lovely folks and I am totally grateful. pulling off the bandage on my skin was so piercingly painful on my old, thin skin and I yelped each time they pulled and an old guy in a room across from mine voiced his encouragement as he heard my yelps. The nurses said "squeeze my hand."
god, they were good!
