percocet is my friend
so yesterday was the big day. we arrived at barnes-jewish hospital early in the morning to sit in a crowded room with everyone else waiting for their turn at surgery. i had to get some blood work 1st. a type and screen (which i have had this blood test done 1 million times and i dont understand b/c i dont think my blood type is gonna change anytime soon). and they also checked my hcg level which i dont know what it matters. then we were taken to my room to change into the awesomely huge pants and gown made for an extra extra extra large man. we met the nurse, the nurse for surgery, the anesthesiologist, the anesthesiologist nurse, the resident for my dr, the fellow for my dr, then finally my dr (who was a 1/2 hr past surgery time). tyson thought we might get to meet the custodian for our room as well but we werent that lucky. everyone kinda told you the same thing with varying information. risks are death, death, or death. or if we puncture your bowel or bladder then death. from anesthesia you might die. then 1 person says it only takes 20 minutes, another says 30, and another an hour. i didn't wake up til 3 hours later and so confused why. finally got moved to the second recovery and waited patiently for tj and mom while i ate graham crackers and drank sprite. it was now 215 and i thought we would be HOME by 130. ha. so finally my mom and tyce come see me and tell me how my procedure went b/c i never saw any of the drs after i went into my deep sleep. they told me everything went okay but i bled more than usual so they gave me a few shots in the thigh (no wonder my leg muscle was killing me) and 3 pills up the bumhole. i guess these medicines make your uterus contract so it will stop bleeding. so i bled quit a bit yesterday but it has slowed down a lot today and my pain is a lot better. this morning my throat was kinda scratchy from the tube and just sleepy from my meds. hoping these hormones don't hit me like a train. school starts next week and i wanna be a normal human being by then. have a good weekend everyone.
