Quote from: oldiebuttbaddie on January 16, 2023, 01:49:05 PMMy surgery is scheduled for 19th January.  For someone who generally has nerves of steel, I got to tell you--I'm pretty much a wreck.

Mate, it may sound too easy, but seriously. Take it easy. Embrace the experience. Try to be in the moment as much as possible and remember the surgery is the easy part. You have got to do nothing. Maybe get something planned for after the surgery to concentrate your mind on while waiting.

And try to talk to the nurses there (there’s plenty of hot ones that I remember), get to know the surrounding and most of all, just relax. Most you have to do is to put a gown on and wait. Then you’ll be in the operating bed and they’ll put you to sleep.

I only had the time to have a couple of jokes with the anaesthesiologist and that’s all I remember.


Good luck in any case.

Hello all,

I had the surgery two days ago 19 January.
 I woke up to no pain and that has basically stayed the same or maybe increased slightly until now.  My legs do feel like they're just kind of dead weigh hanging off my body.  Dr. G, and the nurse both showed me how to click, and there was no problem clicking.  I've had a bunch of accidental clicks, but they said those will go away after the first week.  I like using the walker because it's the only time I'm not laid up in bed.

Congrats on the successful surgery! I also had surgery with Dr G a few weeks ago. If you’d like to get together with a few of us, let me know. Cheers!

Good job. Did you vomit or feel nauseous after you woke up?

Sure.  I'm getting out of the hospital in a few hours.  Can't wait.

Was PT included in the price of surgery? Also, how much is the Hyatt hotel vs Montana?

Pt is included.  Hyatt is around 95 Euro.  Montaza is around 55 Euro.
