I have successfully completed my last surgery! Well, I hope this is it. The TATA final reconstruction took place last Friday. This was the first procedure I had under local anesthesia. I have always been under general (completely knocked out). Needless to say, I was quite anxious. I did feel a bit of the "slicing & dicing", so the tears started flowing. The surgeons were so very generous & injected more anesthesia for more numbing. Thank goodness! Now I know what real pain feels like.
Oh, and all of the surgeon shows that we watch on television in which the surgeons talk & gossip throughout surgery.......very accurate.
Fortunately I had two of the best surgeons in the nation working on me, so surgery is second nature to them. Impressive multitasking in my opinion.
