Surgery took about 4 hours. My husband told me they were really good about giving him updates throughout the procedure, he really appreciated that. Once it was done, Dr. Lee came out & told him everything went well & that it was a fairly easy procedure. He said they were going to hold me for about an hour then I'd be able to go home. Back in the little pre-op area where my husband last saw me is where we met up again. I do not remember much. Its like they show in the movies..memories & images are foggy. I don't remember waking up, I don't remember getting to the car, I vaguely remember sitting in the car, I definitely don't remember getting home. What I do remember is sitting up trying to get some one's attention because I felt like I was going to vomit, which I did. They were too late. My husband told me the anesthesiologist had given me a shot for nausea on my shoulder...I guess it didn't work. Gross alert:..I remember telling a nurse I felt like I had to pee. She said it was only the sensation because I still had a catheter. Ah...no. I really had to go! I also remember getting in our vehicle & feeling like I was going to be sick again. Which, I did. I remember getting home & coming up the stairs sitting on one step at a time & after that I don't remember anything else until I woke up a few hours later. I slept for most of the day & obviously didn't feel any kind of pain. Late afternoon, early evening I was up & felt hungry so I snacked on few things but didn't want to over do it...didn't want to vomit again..ew! Doc had wrapped my foot...really wrapped it good.
