Thank you for all of you good wishes. I really think it helped. The surgery with Dr. Hibner was 4 hours and I had a lot of scare tissue just before and through alcock's canal. It's funny, I've had more swelling in my face and hands from the positioning on the table than in my tush. Wasn't expecting that.
I didn't even get a chance to count back from 100, guess they didn't want me to worry. The botox is not being reccomended by the hospital. I think Dr. Hibner wants you to have it, but because insurance companies won't cover it anymore, Dr. Hibner has to say it's not reccomended. But you can still have it if you pay for it. I know that muscle spasms can be bad, so I said that I wanted it. Dr. Hibner got a big smile on his face when I said that I wanted it.
I'm doing much better than I thought that I would. I have a tolerance to pain, I guess because I've had it so long. I've had many bone surgeries because of arthritis and sometimes with those, I would scream when I moved. It's much easier to go to the bathroom than I thought. Haven't had a bowel movement yet. That should be a lot of fun.
I wasn't really having a heart attach. They had just put the leads on wrong. Thank goodness I could go through with the surgery and not have to go to the back of the waiting line. That's what I was most worried about, not my heart!!!!
Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers..
Kate P.S. We bought a new house that day in Charlotte, NC near our children and grandson. We're moving when I am completely over this.
