Better now then '77. Now days they have you sitting on the side of the bed 8 hours after surgery, and home within a week. Back in '77 the patient was generally 20 years younger than they are now and they were hospitalized for 3-6 months. We have changed things a great deal in that time.
When you talk to your anesthesia provider be sure to ask for a thoracic epidural. A little pain med and local anesthetic injected directly into the epidural space just outside the spinal column sometimes as needed, sometimes continuous that keeps you happy as a clam after the surgery is over. Good luck... |
