So I am 2 days out of surgery, I had a bit of a wig out coming out of anesthesia, some hallucinations. Surgery lasted from 9:30- 6:45. I spent the first night and most of yesterday in ICU due to lack of step down beds. My hearing was preserved, I have a little facial weakness but it should clear in a week or two.ive been up walking with PT and they say they are clearing me today! I’m still waiting to be cleared from the docs but all is going better than expected,
I believe I will be heading home in a few hours. I just had breakfast and have been up to the restroom all on my own. I am disconnected from my lovely IV pole. I really want to wash hair, so when I get home that will be Jim’s challenge, can’t get staples wet until next week. I will be going home with some steroids and tapering those off, so I may not do quite as much as I can feel I can right now. Gotta be on watch for fever, but so far so good. Still a bit dizzy when I rotate my head but working on my PT is definitely helping. I’m getting ready to got for a walk around the nurses station. I put my Apple watch back on today as doc says he’s scared I might push myself too much. He only wants me doing 5% more each day. I am so excited to be recovering better than I thought. My PT was thankful for all my pre-balance work and said it definitely made a difference. My main exercises were balancing on the bosu ball. I highly recommend it. I will video the PT that I am doing, which
Wonderful news! So happy for you!

ReplyDeleteYou are rockin' it, sis, and are becoming even more of an inspiration to me than you already are!
ReplyDeleteThis is such WONDERFUL news Randi!! You have been so much in my thoughts and prayers and I’ve been wondering how your recovery has been going. Thank you for the update. I just had this feeling that you would be the poster child for having this very serious surgery and being a champ in getting through it and doing well. You have had such an incredible attitude and have been so strong. You are a fighter and that is serving you well! Praising God that the surgery went great and you are well on the way to complete restoration of good health!
