andrea’s story

November 11, 2014

i wanted to add 2 things: 1. when i had surgury i had 5 pin holes(where as i had only 2 about a little over a year ago)it is called a sinus tract. 2. i dont remember a thing of surgery. one minute i was in pre op with my nurse , anisteagologist and my family cracking jokes the next i had a new nurse saying “wake up andrea,you’re done” i remember asking her how long was surgury. then it felt like not even 5 minutes later i was wheeled upstairs to see my dad. then it felt like another 5 minutes of drinking juice and i got to go home. my throat was sore from the breathing tube. that was actually more annoying then the pain in my butt. wish i had this surgury a year ago. it was not scary at all.
