    I am at home resting.

    The operation went well, but I had a problem due to the anesthesia.
    I did not get enough oxygen to my brain, and damage was done.
    I was found with only 37% oxygen level and spent days in critical care.

    I went in thursday the 1st, the first day I remember anything is sunday. I came home on
    wednesday. In seven days I lost 20 pounds weight.

    I have a lot of cognitive problems, and lost some of my eyesight.
    It feels like I am surrounded by a thick fog, much like being heavily drunk.
    I cannot do anything about it, so I am just healing at home.

    I am alive, which was in doubt for some days as i battled
    death.

    Trying to keep my chin up and I am facing this like a man

    Kevin

    Holy shit. Someone severely messed up during that operation and not keeping an eye on the O2 supply during that operation.

    I'm sure everyone knew something was up since you didn't 'report' back when you said you would.

    I really hope for the best for you.

    Woha, this sounds like a huge mess-up indeed.

    Best of luck with the recovery, your condition must be hell on earth.

    I hope the damage is not severe or permanent (I know they start to get concerned when O2 levels drop below 90%). This sounds like pure negligence and you might want to have a family member contact a lawyer (you should rest and recover, though I think we are all glad for an update, even though it is not a good one).

    Horrible that you have to suffer like this, regardless whether it is due to human failure or accident. All the best for your recovery!

    Best of luck mate....and get well soon.

    Just on a side note they might try to treat the memory problems with antidepressants...REFUSE at all costs, doing this destroyed my short term memory so be careful.
