The surgery was horrifying wish I had waited. After I got out of the hospital my arms and legs went numb and I couldnt open my hands.I was back in the hospital getting calcium IV 3 days after surgery.I have some synthroid I was taking before surgery and I started taking it again because they havent given me anything else and my bp dropped to 60 over 40.
