Surgery Day

Well August 24th has finally come. We had to be at the hospital at 6am, surgery at 8am. I had quite a scare when we got there. They lady took me back just to give me a pregnancy test and also to take some blood. Well the day before I had to do the "cleaning out" nasty drink... it about killed me. Well I was so dehydrated that whey the lady started taking my blood I passed out and got blood everywhere. It was so embarrassing! But at least I could feel it coming on and was able to let the nurses know that they needed to stop and lay me down.

Then I was taken back to the surgery waiting area where I got my gown on and got on my compression socks on (to prevent blood clots). Finally at 8am on the dot I was wheeled in to the operating room... boy was it COLD!! I remember them giving me propofol through my IV and honestly I don't remember anything else. They had my bed next to the operating table and I don't even remember being moved over to that table.

Next thing I know I was waking up in recovery and it was noon. I stayed there a little bit more and then the lady told me that I was being moved to a room up on the 5th floor. I must have fell back asleep because I don't even remember being moved....lol.

My family came in and seen me and brought my daughter into see me which made it all worth while.

The pain is tolerable but uncomfortable. I looked at my stomach to see the incisions and it honestly doesn't look that bad.

The only bad part was that I couldn't eat and everyone had Subway.... :(

But its my first night so we'll see how it goes.
