Surgery STA/MCA with DR.DAY
Jul 28^th, 2005 at 7:04pm

Hello All,
I had the direct bypass on July 11TH at Brigham & Womens hospital in Boston, MA
DR.DAY did a awesome job. Everything went well.
The surgery took 6 hours, I woke up at the end of surgery in the or room, and asked "what time is it"?
they told me 2pm . They had me move my arms,and legs and off to ICU. Was very, very nauseous for hours. They gve me medicine to help with the nausea. Next day had arterygram of the brain. It showed all was well in the brain. Went home on July 14th. Dr.Day was great!!!!
8 days later had stiches out, then back 3 days later to get 6 more stiches do to leakage. Had a tia on 25th but, doing all right. Thanks for the support and prayers!!!!!!!!!!! Believe it or not the nervousness stopped the morning of the surgery. I really felt a calm feeling. Things went quickly for me that day. But, not for my family. They got through it. It was a joy!!!! to see them in ICU. Lena......................

Hi Lena,

Glad to hear you're doing great! I just have a question...did you say you woke up in the operating room? wow?! I guess Dr. Day just wanted to be sure you were responsive. Amazing.... I didn't even get up in the recovery room! They said they asked me questions, and I evidently answered them correctly, but I don't remember a thing.... Also, the part about you feeling a sense of "calmness" on the day of your surgery is awesome. You knew you were doing what was best, and felt confident in leaving your life in the hands of Dr. Day and his staff....that's awesome. (okay, did I just say awesome twice already?) Anyway, it's always a pleasure to hear great news! I wish you the best with your recovery (I'm 2 months post-op).

Take care,
Shan

Yes, rigt after the operatin in the or this is what I heard.Lena, Lena we're done wake up. I then woke up and they asked me to move my arms,and legs. Then I realized I could understand them, then moved, the I asked "What time is it" and realized the surgery was 7 hours and it was over. It was amazing and I felt that way. Thanks Lena....
