Things I've learned after my recent surgery:
1. They know how to manage pain these days. I expected to be in agony and my pain is pretty much 2 out of 10.
2. Anesthesia can have a lingering effect on vision (blurriness, likely related to slow focus response). Definitely temporary.
3. Anesthesia can cause neuropathy. Hopefully this is temporary. I had my annual foot exam a few weeks ago and aced it. No loss of sensation and thanks to GLP-1 goodness all that tingling was gone. Emphasis on was. Good god I hope it's temporary.
4. Post surgical insomnia (after leaving the hospital) is a thing. I slept most of the first day and a half after discharge (2 hours sleep, 30-90 minutes awake, repeat) and I can't sleep even though it's been a few days since I was discharged.
The medical types undersell their progress with pain management, but they don't really tell you about the other three items.
It's made for a lot of interesting research.

Getting help…
...is hard work... ...but hopefully all worth it... As I've recently shared with you all here, I'm trying to get some help. For a long time, I've tried to make it on my own. And, after many hard struggles, I have had to concede... I had to admit to myself, and then to others, that I wasn't, and am not, able to get it all done on my own. 😔 A good online friend told me that we're not used to make it on our own, that we always need some form of support. But, getting that support as a NeuroSpicy 🌶️ person, it's even more challenging (and maybe also more important). […]
