Surgery was today! It went just great! My surgeon was a peach and the staff very caring. I popped out of anesthesia with no dizziness or other issues. Pain is manageable. I do have a grapefruit sized bowl over my ear that has 4 x 4 dressings in it.Got a little bruising and my neck is sore from my head being turned on the side.I don’t notice an increase in tinnitus at this time.
Thoughts about “How to get ready for your surgery”.
Do neck stretches - looking over your shoulder with your shoulders down and back, for a couple weeks before the dare.
Eat extra protein before surgery and bring some for the evening after. I did protein drinks and ate my usual healthy diet.
Bring socks.
Bring your positive attitude.
Bring Gatorade or a better electrolyte replacer for after surgery, hospital gave it to me and I had some in the hotel room.
