Hi, Thank you for answering my questions/concerns.

I would like for you to tell me what did Ketamine do for you while in hospital-- they gave you Ketamine for what reason and to do what for you?

Also what is the name of the specific supplement that you took? is it over the counter or a prescription?

You did a GREAT job answering my questions / concerns-- You are a wonderful & caring person. Thank you, again and Good Health!

I know that it was given to me for the surgery and they kept me on it with an IV drip.
I just asked what I was on the morning after the surgery, and they told me. I just said can you please stop it, and they looked a little shocked and asked why. I just said I felt a little dizzy when they had me stand up to walk. They called the Dr. and he said ok.
Within an hour I felt less dizzy /foggy and started walking the halls doing a loop every hour.
All my nurses were smiling and said you just go as much as you want.
I was in no pain and wanted to do as much as possible not to stay in there! I can tell you I wish I had some padding on because I had to get back to the room fast because of the draining. ARGH
I would bring at least 2 robes to wear. I messed up mine. It is amazing the amount of stuff and blood that will come out. TMI, I know. But, better to know and not be afraid.
The only supplements I took and still take are my normal vitamins.
I can say another positive from the surgery is the headaches I have always had have almost disappeared! So, that eliminated the aspirin and Advil that I used to take. Very rare and that is a blessing!
