I woke up after surgery to the most frightful...

I woke up after surgery to the most frightful experience in my life. Besides the pain in my neck, if I tried to move at all , it would send me into a terrible spin. I grabbed my poor husband over and over again the minute it would start. I tried desperately to not move at all out of fear of the vertigo spin. I hung onto the bars of the gurnee for dear life and just remained like a deer in the headlights for what seemed like quite a long time. The nurses tried to get my husband to leave me, but he would not leave me in this terrible predicament. I can't even begin to describe how I felt. THe nurses wanted me to sit up to see if I could swallow and I said there was no way I could move that much for even a few seconds. They finally called the doc and he approved that I did not need to sit up, I could be tested by lying down. THankfully my husband wasn't going to be pushed around.

I was the last gurnee to leave the ICU area, just pushing the bed was enough to make me uncomfortable. What a night I had.
