I've had some dizziness but it's no big deal....goes away after a few seconds.. I also took that huge bandage off my head and replaced it with a little one across my ear and now my hair covers it.

Hi Rhonda-

Congrats! You are so brave, walking into the OR! I was

out before they even wheeled me into OR. I don't think

I could walk myself there ever!!

Hope your recovery continues well. Take care.
