I woke up after surgery to the most frightful...
I woke up from the surgery to the most frightful times of my life. If I moved an inch I started to experience extreme vertigo. I grabbed my husband for dear life to just hang on to me until it passed. This happened over and over again. I have no idea how I coped with it...I don't know how I stayed sane. I couldn't have done it without my husband being there. It seemed like hours , I begged for something to take, but they would not give me anything since I was waking up from surgery. Then, I asked the nurse for a sip of water and she refused. She did request that I sit up so she could do the straw test and I told her there was no way I could move without going into a spin and my neck couldn't be lifted up from the bed. My surgery required cutting through the back of my neck and I was in major pain. Then, the nurse started to get testy and was insisting on my husband leaving. I told her no way and requested she call my doc and see if I had to lift my head up. She called him and he said I did not have to lift my head up. What a night.
