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>
