Sorry it has taken me so long to reply to your post. The dr. said that the bruising is from when I was laying down during the surgery and then sitting up makes it go down with gravity to the least resistant tissue. I have gone back for my post op check up and I haven’t felt this good in so long that I feel like a new person. I can actually keep up with my soon to be 2 year old and not be out of breath and my heart racing.

So I had my surgery and it went great. I am really bruised and I didn’t realize that I would be this bruised. I haven’t had to take any pain medicine with it which is a plus. I got to come home the next day and feel great. I had forgotten what it was like to not have tremors in my hads all of the time. I honestly look like someone has taken a baseball bat to my neck and chest area. I hope that it goes away soon.

Thanks to eveyone that has posted in reply to my post. It is nice to know that other people in the world have the same disease. I am from a small town and it is not very common at all, especially at the age of 25 when I was diagnosed. Thanks nancym, I am glad that you posted because you had your surgery so recently and I am now put at ease with it. Like I said in my original post I work at the local hospital in the ICU and am very much aware of possibilites during surgery and I have always been one to over analyze things, especially when it comes to something like this. Again, thanks everyone.
