I had 3 1/2 of the four parathyroid glands removed. My recovery was swift - used only 1.5 of the 30 hydrocodone tabs that were prescribed - then was able to switch to otc pain relief the next evening after the surgery. I had the surgery on a Friday and was able to go back to work on Monday, though I probably didn’t stay the full day. The great thing is that I had improvement in many of the symptoms I didn’t even realize I was having!
I’m sorry about the inconvenience of the iv bag shortage (it’s the bags themselves, not the fluid), but glad you’ll still have the surgery. That’s the type that can be postponed, and you’ll be glad to just get the darned thing done. And your spouse is correct about anesthesia being better than stressing about the election!
Best wishes to you!!! I hope yours goes as well as mine did. And I hope the election results by the time you get home give you a huge lift in recovery!
