Had my bmx sx on Friday and evidently, I was in sx for most of the day. Both surgeons were very happy with the results and they were able to do the immediate reconstruction as well. First night my BP was super low and then red cells dropped too low yesterday, so I ended up with a transfusion.

Overall, I feel great and am in very little pain! I've just been a little sore and achy, and only did 1/2 of a percocet a few times. I think my arm is more bruised from one of the IVs. Not sure how I'm going to feel in a few days of not showering, but hey - at least I don't have to wash my hair!
