Had the surgery yesterday afternoon at around 1:30, apparently I was awake-breifly- after it but I didn't full refain aweareness until around 9 PM. Woke up with some aches but otherwise fine.
So, the morning before the surgery I peed before leaving for the hospital. hours later at the hospital I'm informed by one of the nurses prepping me I need to pee for her. "... I don't have to go." I said. "Well, we need one anyway."
So I'm in the bathroom and I have a very nervous bladder anway and I couldn't just make myself go. The doctor ended up saying not to worry about. Overall, I guess the surgery was OK I had a couple gran-mal siezures come out of it resutling in a CAT scan showing nothing serious (they were worried I had a stroke.) The result is that the docot wants to increase my siezure medication by half again what I am taking and to not drive until he sees me again with the biopsy results Monday.
Night of the surgery I had to pee really bad and couldn't due to nervous bladder, comotion of the ICU and the position I was laying in so I had another catheter put it.
Didn't sleep much all night for various comofort reasons and bieng woken up by my nurse asking me orientation/awarness questions. (I do recall one queston I was asked when I was brought out of surgery, I was asked who the POTUS was and I answered "Barack Hussein Obama") This morning, catheter was removed, (1... 2.. 3... yank) I peed a few minutes later after getting some drinks and was back at the parent's where I'll be for another night and I'll go back to the apartment tomorrow. Still can't drive. Which is silly considering the more sever siezures I had was likely from the brain surgery or the anesthesia.
Overall aside from some discomfort in my scalp where my staples are I'm pretty much back to normal. Parents are taking me to Five Guys tonight for dinner!
Biopsy results should be on Monday.
Thanks, everyone.
