.....Continued
I woke up in the recovery room around 12:30, pretty nauseous from the anesthesia and it took maybe another hour until I was somewhat fully aware of what was going on. During this time i was constantly supervised by nurses, along with other patients coming out of surgery. When they rolled me back to my room, i did have an episode of extreme nausea accompanied by vomiting.
I was hooked up to an IV for hydration/nutrition, and some pain killer.
Later in the day they came with the evening meal which i refused as i was not ready to eat. They left couple of pieces of toast with cheese next to my night stand, which i eventually ate few hours later. During the rest of the day the nurses came in to check on me. At one point the surgeon also came by to let me know that the surgery went really well (prostate, 2 lymph nodes and 30 % nerve removal). This last piece for me was a huge positive news as i came into the surgery with the expectancy of loosing at least 50% of the nerves)
As you come out of the surgery you will have a catheter.
The nurses come and check the urine (quality and qty every few hours) this will take place for the first 2-3 days.
Also they will take your vital every few hours throughout the day and draw blood.
