Julia Update

So much for my thoughts that this was going to be as easy as the last surgery. Julia's having a rough time of it. Gorked out mostly and then she tossed her cookies around 8 pm. This is despite anti-nausea meds. It looked like some blood clots.
It wasn't an easy morning. Julia had quite a few tears before we left the house. She did ok once we were here--of course most of the nurses in preop were ones that used to work on the floor with me. We went to the OR and she started to get teary. Dr. Del picked up on it right away and she said "hurry up guys, we're starting to get tears". Things went pretty good then. Nose looks great--with a bit of swelling. Throat is sore--she's whispering and gesturing to make her point. She's finally asleep now. I warned her just before she fell asleep that I was going to the computer--so hopefully if she wakes up she be ok.
I'm hoping we can leave tomorrow after she gets a good night sleep. But, if the nausea continues...yikes! Thank goodness this is the last surgery for a while. I'm beat up!

Hugs and kisses to both of you! I'm praying for her...I know how miserable that post-op nausea is.

Thanks for the update. I pray the worst has past and her recovery is fast and smooth. She'll be back on her ice-skates before long.
