I wasn’t out of the hospital in one
day either. Most patients do recover quickly, but everyone is different.
Before surgery I was told to expect probably a 2 day stay. I ended up having
to stay 10 days though, mainly because of severe diabetes insipitous and also
some allergic reactions to some of the drugs (I’m allergic to
everything!). Mine is NOT the standard reaction after these surgeries, but you
do need to be aware of the possibilities. <o:p></o:p>

I also agree about not overdoing it! Your
body will probably be more exhausted than you realize afterwards.<o:p></o:p>

I didn't want to write until after your surgery but you should know
that everyone does not get out of the hospital in one day. I was in the
hospital for 7 days and had nasal packing for 6. My recovery was
difficult and slow and it took several months before I really felt good.
Everyone is different and their tumors and damage caused by the tumor is
different. Don't hold too high of an expectation for yourself. If
it takes a while for you to recover it is not your fault!! You can find
my story in the My Pit Story section of this site.<o:p></o:p>

They usually give you steroids following surgery which can make you
feel better than you should. Make sure you follow your doctors orders and
don't overdue it!
If you need too let your family and friends help. This is harder
than we think for most of us. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
We will pray that you have one of the easy recoveries.<o:p></o:p>
