Right now things are looking good but I see a doctor who knows about my birth defect for monitoring. I'm a veteran of that experience but the thought of doing another surgery and spending more time in a lonely hospital room still frightens me. http://www.personalarchaeology.com/2009/11/07/out-from-under-the-knife/comment-page-1/#comment-1805 James Pyrich Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:08:27 +0000 http://www.personalarchaeology.com/?p=1584#comment-1805 Thanks for your sympathies Joey, I appreciate it. Will you have to experience any more surgery due to your condition if you don't have any more complications, or is that not really something you can hang your hat on? (I will say that I felt considerably worse after the anaesthesia and painkillers wore off, and then I slowly started to feel better.) http://www.personalarchaeology.com/2009/11/07/out-from-under-the-knife/comment-page-1/#comment-1802 Joey Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:41:58 +0000 http://www.personalarchaeology.com/?p=1584#comment-1802 Sorry I missed this news by a few days. I'm glad it went well. I do know a lot about surgeries as I've spent most of my life in hospitals under the knife.
