Hours later after surgery

I am going to be short here and write more later.

Arrived at hospital for check-in at 6AM then taken back to undress and have a few test and various people coming in to explain things to me. Marci arrived around 7:30AM and drew on my throat. About 8:15 was wheeled into the operating room and put under. As I suspected I remember nothing, awake at around 3:30PM. Taken to my room and left there for about 10 minutes which time a nurse came in indicating she was on shift for one hour and another nurse would take her place. The second nurse explained to me that all nurses attending to me are well versed in the taking care of people who have gone thru the same as me and it shows :-)

Pain level range 0-10 where 10 is high, I am hovering between 1 and 2 and should note, I am inherently not good with pain but over many years learned how to control pain thus level 1 to 2 might be for others 4-6.

Trachea shave from running my fingers over it feels like it is completely gone. Vagina, will see when my packing is removed down the road.

Best of luck for a fast recovery. It might take awhile and some days may be better than others. If I recall correctly, the 3rd and 4th days were a bit more painful. Hopefully you will be comfortable but some rougher days are probably the norm. It will all be over soon and it will be worth it so stay focused on the goal. :)
