This resulted in an army of medical professionals checking on me and getting a CT scan done on my head, checking multiple vitals, etc. I'm cleared and this happens on occasion with implant patients according to a doctor.
PHEW. I'm better but sheesh. Already kind of worried about my revision but that's jumping the gun I know.
Haha, i passed out the day after my implant too, they got me up in the morning and told me i need to get to the near by chair as they have to keep me mobile. i got to the chair got some cornflakes put infront of me then passed out. i was discharged that day so its definately not a biggie they just wanted to monitor my bloods for a few hours afterwards to make sure it was a 1 off. I also couldnt pee, more like a little drip i ended up being re-cathetered and sent home, i hated it, 10 days later they removed it and i was fine, thankfully you dont need to go through that side of thing.
I think what helped me pee was the looming threat that they said they might need to send me home with the catheter. I'm having trouble peeing again though. Gonna give it another shot shortly - wish me luck lol.
