Made it

Surgery went well. Took about an hour. My airway was 6mm. Bad news is he wants me on at least another week of high dose steroid. Boo! But he says it will reduce swelling and likelihood of scar from the procedure. I've got some good pain meds and a lot of help from husband and my mom so I'm resting. Thought I'd let you all know. I've got some pics and such to post later. Thanks for all the Well wishes!

    I saw you post on FB earlier, but I'm glad you posted here, too, and that everything went well. Another week of steroids for those benefits? Worth it, right? Take care, rest up, and have a quiet, peaceful weekend!

    heal well! One more week of meds isn't that long. I'm so glad you've been able to go and get it done. I hope breathing and exercise gets easier.

    Yay! Take a deep breath . . .and then lots more . . . and enjoy. Sorry about the prednisone for another week, but doctor knows best and it's all to the ultimate good.

    Doc, wonderful news. I've been away from blogs for most of the week, otherwise I would have wished you well, but glad to hear it worked out!

    Glad it's over for you and may your recovery be speedy! I'm late in reading many of my usual blogs, so I'm just finding out that you have already had the procedure. Speedy recovery and hopefully no more problems in your future.
