Surgery

3/19/2010

I have never checked into a hospital, had a procedure at the hospital, or spent the night at a hospital until our car accident this December.  Since then, I have spent two whole weeks there and had a surgery!  

This is how it went.  We checked in at 11:30 AM.  I have not eaten since 9 PM yesterday.  I am grumpy when I am hungry!  

I was called back and they put me in a heated robe.  A heated robe!  I gotta get me one of those!!  

I was in my little cubby pretty much freaking out.  I asked one more time if I did not have to be put out for this and the answer was no.  I had this overwhelming fear that I would wake up to find out that the doctor did a hysterectomy by accident and we would not be able to have kids.  The doctor came in and I told him to please save my uterus!  He smiled.  

They started my IV and the ‘knock me out so I don’t remember or feel anything’ drug and apparently I asked if I could count sheep.  

The next thing I knew I woke up and asked if they had taken me back yet, I totally didn’t remember a thing…..UNTIL….we were at McDonalds and it all came back to me.  I remember getting strapped to the table and commenting that the strap was really tight.  Turns out the tight strap was the blood pressure cuff.  

Anyhow, since the surgery I have been a new woman.  My energy is back and I am on the go go go again.  I didn’t realize how bad I was feeling until now.  Thank goodness for the great outcome.
