Patient- Hi everybody it's me. I have been out of surgery for one hour and I'm waking up. I don't have any pain, I do have a little bit of pressure, a feeling of pressure underneath my neck, and that's about it. I'm like totally amazed and happily so- that I'm not in any major discomfort.
I can tell you that I went to sleep and when I opened my eyes and saw all the time that went by, I couldn't believe that it was done.The nursing staff here is amazing. They are loving care takers and I appreciate that. Everybody here has been great.
I am doing really well so hopefully everything is going to turn out good.
