I went in last week for the PVE surgery and was told everything went 'textbook', I interperet that as very good. The surgery itself did hurt because they had to keep me awake so I didn't move. They gave me pain medication but I thought I felt a lot of it and it was not pleasent. Eventually, the pain medication won out and I only remember about 5 minutes of the painful part.
After surgery, I was kept in a room for about 4 hours to monitor my condition. The nurse gave me some perkiset and that worked great to help ease the pain in my side from the surgery. I went home and stayed close to bed for the next few days. Advil was the best for pain control. By Monday, I was back at work. I did notice some pressure around what I would consider my heart area for a few days. I could not get a full breath until Thursday of that week. Now I feel pretty much normal. I don't really feel anything different internally so I think that is a pretty good sign. Hopefully everything is growing as expected. My next big hurdle is the MRI at the beginning of July.
I thank God for his continue blessing and the pray he continues to give me and my family hope that everything will be ok through each step of this journey. I continue to thank God daily for the mercy he has on me during this trial.
