Hey everyone! Sip sip sip... walk walk walk...

So I was scheduled to be there at 12:30 yesterday, finally got in at 1:30. My husband stayed till 2pm.

The blood thinner shot hurt like hell lol! Tried to ignore the pain, hoped I didn't bruise, well I did lol!

The iv wasn't bad. Watched some tv, blind might I add without my contacts.

At 3pm I went in, got up on the table. The OR was really nice (new operating rooms lol). I was just watching the lights and then they put the mask over my face, felt the pressure on my neck and that's the last I remember.

I remember waking up in recovery, my throat hurt so bad. No one could understand me lol the recovery room nurse was a total biotch... the man was nice. She was yelling, like i couldn't hear her (to other people) freaking me out. Omg it was sooo loud.

I got to the room and the first thing I asked for was my phone. I had created a surgery group on my phone so I only had to text one person lol! So I texted everyone that wanted updates. Got too many replies to respond too lol

The pain wasn't as bad as everyone said. It's tolerable, the pain meds they give you suck lol, I was so gassy and nauseated. I think that is the worst part, the pain from the wounds and the incisions isn't bad at all.

I got up at 2 am and walked like 10 laps lol thought it was 7am. I was asking for my carafate since I was empty and she was like, you'll get it at 9, after breakfast at 7:30. Then I get back and it's only 2am! So my roomie (from Vallejo) and I chatted it up.

I went into surgery at 234! Woohoo.. 6lbs under goal.

Right now it's hard to move without getting gas pains. I'm on the awful liquid vicadin and the carafate.

bought some gas-x strips today and some mints. Man it is nice to have something to suck on lol! About to get me a sugar free popscicle.

So that's my update. My poor husband has my 3 year old, my 2 year old in a body cast and me crying of gas pains to take care of.

I probably should have rescheduled because I feel so guilty, but I'm glad I went through with it, because it's too late to go back now!
