I done did it!

After 2 insurance-related delays my moment of truth finally arrived on Tuesday. I was not particularly nervous at any point in the few weeks before the procedure (I must have gotten that out of my system earlier), and things went well.

Thoughts:

1) No nausea. Other people had mentioned this as being a significant issue. I went out and got myself a special nausea-blocking wrist band. Didn't need it.

2) I was worried that I'd be unable to function, read, etc. for a significant amount of time. Wasn't a problem; I've been reading since Thursday.

3) Pain. More for me than for other people, it seems. It's still early days, but I sure wouldn't want to be without my meds. Hydrocodone for now; might switch to Percoset.

4) No problems with the liquid diet so far. I like Ensure. Not sure about my weight, but I've been drinking a lot of fluids.

5) Showers help. Ice helps. Anti-inflammatory cream helps.

No comments about sleep yet: with the pain and swelling, it's too soon to tell.
