Senior Member finnari Posted June 27, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2007 Tommorow is the big day with Dr.Keene. I will have 1500 grafts. Any suggestions that might be helpful that you wish you would have done pre or post surgery. I am enclosing a pre op picture. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 finnari, good luck on your surgery tomorrow....Dr. Keene does fine work. To keep it simple...just follow the pre/post op instructions provided by Dr. Keene. I am not sure if she provides a detailed document, but ask her for something when you are there...I'm sure she can provide. Tonight, just get a good night sleep, and try to relax.

Senior Member NervousNelly Posted June 27, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2007 Best of luck with everything. You'll do fine. You might want to prop yourself up the first couple of nights while you sleep. Possibly have some icepacks ready for swelling in the forhead. Good luck.

Senior Member scooping around Posted June 28, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted June 28, 2007 man, doctor keene sure has been busy lately. Finnari, I just got back from a surgery with Dr. Keene on the 14th, 2 weeks ahead of you. If you don't normally live in the AZ area, it would be nice to find a hotel near her office in Tucson. I thought I'd be ok to drive immediatly post op, but found out that I was too light-weight for those pain killers, I was just stumbling my way out of the office. Overall, she does a clean job, pain should be minimal. It's hot right now in AZ, so I'd keep myself out of the heat as much as possible for the first week after the surgery.

Senior Member finnari Posted June 29, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 29, 2007 Yes if you are going to have surgery with Dr. Keene stay at the La Quinta Inn on broadway. Which is one block from her office. I was woozy from all the valium after surgery. No way could I drive. A taxi took me to the hotel for 5 dollars after. Once I came to my senses I walked back to the office and drove my car to the hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
