Giving her an epidural for the pain is a FANTASTIC idea. I didn't know any hospital would actually do that. And being cut in half is certainly cause for that kind of drastic pain relief. <div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>

Just a side note: I had a hysterectomy in 2005 and they did it via epidural - it was AWESOME. They removed it after a day or two and recovery time was Nill. I highly recommend them when dr's will allow - so you don't have to be knocked out and have the lung trouble

I'm continuing to read the updates for Lindsey as we receive them - sounds like she couldn't ask for more !!! Hoorayyyy for Lindsey...breathing easy <img src="i/expressions/rose.gif" border="0">

This is just the greatest news, again <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> This is all going sooo fast!

My call came at my father's birthday, very early in the morning so i had my lungs that same day in the evening.
I had an epidural for painmanagement too, they actually asked me if i wanted it and put it in before i went to the OR. I felt absolutely no pain at all, all the time that was in, it was great. I think that was one of the things why i could take a relatively deep breath and was able to cough very soon after i was extubated.

Lindsey, keep going like this girl! And you'll even be out of there in notime <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Love, Marjolein
