Sunset after surgery

Backblip - 

Today is the day!  

I arrived at the surgery center at 6:45 am, and was prepped for surgery.  I agreed to a nerve block in the shoulder, which the anesthesiologist did, then they put me "out".  Then, I woke up with a huge padded bandage on my shoulder, they took out my IV, got me dressed, put my sling on,  and I was out of there by 11:30 am.  S picked me up and took my back to my hotel.  I then laid down and went back to sleep for a couple of hours.  

Since I had the nerve block, I couldn't really feel anything and I couldn't move my arm.  It took about 12 hours for it to wear off and I could move it again.  I slept on and off most of the day.  I did go down to the little cafe in the hotel for dinner, but then went back upstairs and went back to bed.  

I was surprised that I was actually so alert and mobile.  Most of the time when I have had general anesthesia, I am out of it for the day and many times have been sick.  Not this time.  It was amazing!  I even manage a sunset photo with my phone.
