Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi everyone, I spoke with Cindy tonight, and she's doing quite well. The surgery went as expected, with no surprises. She is on Oxycontin and Percoset for pain. They did have to give her additional drugs/anesthetic during the surgery, about 5 times, as it kept wearing off, and she could feel the sheet with her fingers, and they said she shouldn't be able to do that! She had a regional block, and was awake for the surgery. They would give her something in the IV and also something through another IV line on the arm that the surgery was being performed on. The surgery took about 1 hour, and when the nurse wrapped it, Cindy commented to the doctor, that she didn't think it would hold, as she could feel things moving. He said no problem, they would just splint it, so she has a plaster splint over the dressing. She thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers. She goes back on the 23rd to have the stitches removed, unless it looks as though they aren't ready to come out. She was cheery, and it was good to talk to her! Please keep sending her healing thoughts! Thanks everyone! Hope you are all well! Love Lana 0:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
