I didn't do so well with the anesthetic. The first day of surgery doesn't count. I was off the pain pump the 2nd day. Up and walking later on the second day. It wasn't the pain, it was the dry heaves that got me. I kept trying the next day, still dizzy, and peuking. They couldn't give me anything for that at that point because it can cause you to not urinate which, of course, you need to be doing. Sigh. I wasn't eating hardly anything, and drinking wasn't so great either. So no flushing the junk out of my system. Then at night I was spiking some high BP. And, I couldn't sleep either. The binder was not my friend. Of course you can't really sleep in the hospital anyway, you just get to sleep and they wake you up, then you just get to sleep and they wake you up. By the 4th day I was in tears, I just wanted to go home and sleep. They were still very concerned about my BP, it really would only spike at night when I was laying in bed. Of course it would. They did medicate me for it, and monitor it, again waking me up. But I told them I would follow up with my PCP that week. However the transplant clinic got me in sooner with the neuphologist, so they did take care of me. I just had a bad time with the anesthetic. So, I am glad a lot of you had a good surgery, I really am, I just didn't. And mine was almost 2 years ago and is still very fresh in my mind. But, I would do it all over again if I had another kidney to spare.
