I went in at 7 AM yesterday for the procedure. It was started at 9 AM and by 1230. I was heading home. The nurse in recovery said I woke up quicker than most people.

I have some pain from it, but I’ve been taking Tylenol since the first time I took one 5mg oxycodin yesterday afternoon. Slept pretty good last night, though I did have to get up to pee, which I don’t normally have to do. That is difficult, a little painful. This morning, I’m not feeling bad at all. Biggest problem is sitting down. They open you up in the perinium and stomach. The 2” stomach opening doesn’t bother me at all, The perinium opening makes it really hard to sit down without it hurting and burning, But it’s not very painful laying down. I may have a high threshold for pain, I don’t know how to compare it to other people.

The doctor running the ancan.org Speaking freely Meeting last night was impressed that I wasn’t in more pain. He said when he was done, he felt like he had razor blades in his body that were just cutting him up. The pain went on for weeks. I know the doctor I had do it was real experienced at it. My oncologist said she was a real artist. My results seem to be among the better results I’ve heard from people..
