So the big thing to note is that I'm diplopic (double vision) again. It means I'm not driving or getting out until further notice. Typing, working on computer, etc, is a definite challenge. So, I'm not doing a lot of things I would normally be doing. Like updating my blog like I should.
At any rate, I figured I'd relate all that happened since I went in for my procedure to get my fistulas fixed. We were at the hospital by 5:30a with a scheduled procedure time of 7:30. Unfortunately for me, there was an emergency that came in ahead of us, so I didn't actually go back to get ready until around 12:30p. I was in the recovery area by 6:30p, from there I headed to ICU for the night. It was not a pretty sight, my eye (and head) hurt pretty extensively. I couldn't keep down the percoset, but a dose of morphine took the edge off.
I was released before lunch Saturday. On getting home, I slept off and on most of the day. My head ached, but I was not going to take the meds they sent home (other than the anti-nausea stuff). Sunday was a little better ache wise. Monday came, my pain went away, but the double vision set in. Ack. I checked in with the doctor's office and was told it wasn't "unexpected". So, now I wait for my brain to decide to finish healing and to get back to "normal".
