----------------------------------------------------------- From: griberdy Message 5 in Discussion Cinny,<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I was terrified. I think deep down I thought Id be fine, but I had read about so many risks and things that could go wrong, that I had myself worked into a frenzy. I cried so much prior to surgery. See, I have 2 little girls, and I was so scared that I wouldnt wake up to watch them grow up. So, your fear is normal, and Im sure many others out here felt scared as well.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> But, in the end, nothing went wrong with the surgery, and I didnt experience any severe problems post surgery. I had my surgery on Monday morning at 8:00 am, was in ICU by 4:00 PM that afternoon. Was moved to a regular room Tuesday evening, and released Wednesday evening.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I do know that its important to have a doctor experienced with pit tumors to ensure success.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> They did go through my nose. An ENT worked with the neuron surgeon. However, since my nose was smaller than normal, they had to break and move my septum over. I think my main post surgery came from that. I did have one stitch on the outside of my nose where my nose tore a little and instead of packing, I had splints. They didnt hurt, just felt strange/uncomfortable. The nice thing was that the splints had tunnels in them, so I could spray saline/nose sprays through them and could breath through them somewhat. Having the splints removed did not hurt me at all, just felt strange/uncomfortable.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Ginger<o:p></o:p> ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/PituitaryChat/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
