Procedure went well yesterday.
Was awake and alert, able to leave in a half hour, which was a nice surprise. I'm supposed to be on bed rest, still not allowed to drive, exercise more than essential shuffling etc.
That's proving tough, as my body seems to have 'flipped a switch' and said "Hey! No more bleeding! Let's dance!"
Placebo affect or not, I'll take a better view of the world over the Snarkasaurus I've been the last three months.
Yes, I'm taking it easy anyway, taking the meds as instructed, to make sure the pain cycle is broken. If I do anything, it will be to sit on the back deck in the sunshine to read with the dog. That's always good.
The surgery nurses did say that if people with food allergies or special diets need to bring a paleo or keto food in after a procedure...that scrambled eggs are excellent, sooth the stomach post-op, and can be heated in the microwave to eat. Wanted to pass that one along.
The doctor did find more polyps in process of growing, and sent the lot to the lab. She is not anticipating any issues, the ablation was done in good time, and everyone remarked the same thing: I looked better leaving the hospital than I did on arrival. (The reverse is historically true.)
The pre-op ferritin level was at 8. I doubt the doctor will ask me to take an iron supplement with the diet, preferring to let my body replenish on its own.
Aaaaand...there we are. A ray of light! Smoke em if ya got em....
