Not yet. But I was in the hospital 4 days after mine. If he stays that long, he's still there.
I was released this morning. A gigantic thanks to everybody for their support.
So, around noon on the 12th, I went in for preparation. As they wheeled me into the OR, I told the other surgeons and nurses to give my main surgeon, Dr. Petrick, a message "Tell him that I have trust in him, and that if anything goes wrong and I live through it, I'm going to beat him to death with a shovel." That's the last thing I remember before the anesthesia wiped my memory.
I woke up four seconds later in Recovery. Here now, verbatim, were my thoughts at the time:
...Or something to that extent.
The first night was the longest I've ever lived--I'm not used to sleeping on my back, but the catheter forced me to sleep on--you guessed it--my back. Sleep was incredibly fitful.
The next morning, around 11:00, I just HAD to stand up, but I couldn't take the catheter with me. She didn't even allow me to take one last-second shot of morphine--"take a deep breath--1, 2, 3!" It was like she was a magician instead of a nurse. "And now for my next trick, I will pull a thin plastic tube out of this large man's penis. *drum roll*" Of course, after they took it out, I couldn't actually take a piss for a while; not because they said I couldn't, but because my dick was a five-alarm fire. Luckily, most of the blinding pain has subsided, but I won't be able to masturbate for a few days.
I know, a veritable nightmare. Don't cry for me, Argentina.
The splint they gave me works wonders--I can now sleep on my side with only minimal pain and discomfort. I've been pretty nauseous since I first woke up after surgery, but I've been on a liquid diet for two weeks--what am I going to vomit, right? This morning, I try to shower, but I can only use one hand because of the IV. The freezing water didn't help matters, either.
So, I don't expect to be breakdancing anytime soon, but as everybody and their dog has been telling me, "It'll all be worth it in the end."
OH! I didn't update because the hospital doesn't have wireless.

I'm always amazed at my clarity before and after anesthetic. I don't remember the conversation before my apendix removal, as it was a boring one about my health, but I can remember almost every bit before my jaw surgery, where I had a discussion with the nurse about automobiles (my old crappy Nissan versus her new BMW).
