Port Surgery

I survived surgery!!! I had surgery to insert my mediport on November 26. I was extremely nervous about being put out because my last experience with sedatives was a disaster. This surgery was a breeze-well, almost a breeze. I fainted during the IV insertion which is so embarrassing. I don't know what happened. Once in a while I have a vasovagal response and I faint. After I recovered from fainting, the rest of the day seemed easy. When I woke up from the anesthetic, I did not feel nauseated. I just felt sleepy. An hour after waking up, I was able to go home. It was a strange day because by dinner time I actually felt better than average. I had surgery that morning and yet I was sitting up at the table eating dinner with my husband and my parents. I actually answered my phone! I had the energy to do things that I cannot always get done on an average day. I wonder if my energy boost was caused by something in the anesthetic, by the hydrocortisone that I was given in my veins during the surgery, or by my FIRST dose of the IV antibiotic Rocephin. I pray that it was a direct result of the antibiotic and that I will have a lot more energy to look forward to as start down my journey on this strong medication. I will keep you posted!
