This morning I went in to have my medi-port inserted in my chest. My arm still hurt from the surgery last Friday, my breast was still black and blue and hurt from the biosy from last Thursday. But I was okay in in pretty good spirits. Like I have mentioned before, I am an old pro with surgeries and hospitals, having had so many in my "short" life. :-)
Went in for pre-op, not as many doctors or questions, but similar process as before. This time however I was awake during the prep-time in the operating room. I was awake as they put the things on me, and the oxygen apparatus in my nose. The nurse gave me the meds...and the next thing I knew...I was waking up in recovery. Shortly there after I was able to go home. I was not in much pain at time.
But several hours later the pain started to come as the local anesthesia wore off. I was in A lot of pain. My chest hurt. It was awful. I had to take my pain meds, every 4 -6 hours. I could not get comfortable. I had a hard time sleeping as I usually sleep on my right side or my stomach. I was not happy.
