Recovering

The surgery went well yesterday. I was surprised that they didn't put me under to do it but they did give me a sedative to calm me down and some lidocaine to help deaden the area. I watched on the screen as the doctor did the procedure. It wasn't comfortable but I made it through. I was in surgery about 2 hours but most of it was prep time as they used a CT to pin point the exact area that they needed to put in the drain.
We left the Cities about 5 last night and when I got home I sat down in the recliner and crashed. Got up around 10 and took my medicine and hobbled off to bed. I'm moving very slow this morning and will be taking it easy this weekend. Taking Extra Strength Tylenol for the pain. The doctor told me that when the abscess quits draining that it can come out but Dr. Finne may opt to have it stay in place until surgery on the 30th. Just have to take it one day at a time.
