Decompression surgery complete

[Lottida]

Hi everyone.....I had my decompression surgery on 4/2/15 with much success thus far.  I no longer have any of my symptoms, but do realize that many may reoccur sometimes.  I had a little issue yesterday because I passed out when I got up for the first time(think BP dropped).  I am tolerating the pain much better than I anticipated & never even needed IV pain meds.  On average I am taking 1 Percocet twice daily.  All of my ear symptoms that I supposedly had Meniere's disease are gone.  Dr. Soleau took longer(4 hrs) with surgery due to issues with CSF leak from Durapatch, however I had CT of head yesterday which looked great.  Hope everyone is doing well & I will post later in recovery process to keep everyone updated.  I should be discharged later today or tomorrow.  Thanks for all of the prayers.

Hello. It sounds like you are dealing with "the postop challenge" with grace indeed. Thank you for posting about your progress - it is such an encouragement to everyone when someone does well. I will watch this thread to keep current with your status. Until I hear from you again, you will be in my prayers.

  So glad to hear you are doing well....I too felt not one symptom post op....even some tinnitus ....but it can come back....but, much of the return can be the nerves healing....

Be prepared to give healing time...rest, rest and rest some more....looking forward to more positive updates : )
