hi all
i'm back!
thank you all so much for the well wishes.
i'm doing much better, the first few days is always rough because i'm allergic to all pain medication except motrin/advil/etc. if its opiate based - i'm allergic.
i had to spend about an hour with the anesthesiologist going over all the various drugs to try and find something that would work for surgery. he ended up using something i was mildly allergic to and then loading me up with benadryl to keep the symptoms under control.
all the doctors kept saying was they hope i never need serious surgery like open heart.
i've rec'd quite a few sets - i'll get them opened and sorted and let everyone know what i have so far.
