Weird how your body reacts to surgery
My heart rate went to 35, my oxygen was low
Wasn't breathing deep enough for good oxygen level
I had ice chips and drank protein drink out of those tiny medicine cups you get pills in. Wasn't so yucky that way
Welcome to the loser side:)

My surgery was on a Friday an i was slated to go home on Sunday morning. My oxygen level dropped to low 80s Sat night an it wouldnt come back up to normal without 2.5 liters of oxygen on. It stayed that way until Monday. Then it came back to normal an acted like nothing happened. Needless to say I didnt go home until Tuesday. Never had that happen in all my life.. except when I was 10. Docs could never figure it out. And I never knew my oxygen was that low until they came running in cause my monitor was beeping at them lol.
