My Journey- Good and Bad!

I got there at 11:30, dropped off my papers to the collections office, and got registered with the OR place. It was about 1 before they ever called me back. Did the whole, undress, put on the gown, get IV, talk to anestesia, etc then they realize they didnt do a preggo test. So I had to do that and wait another 20 min before we could get started.  

We had a whole ordeal over the Levaquin. They hung it, and was giving it to me, and I asked what it was. She said Levaquin. So I tell her about the side effects it has on me. But I tell her I think Ill be ok, because I really needed to have it before the surgery. So then another nurse comes over and freaks because she said she saw in my chart that I am allergic to it. They Dr had wrote it on the papers. Next another nurse comes over and has papers showing where the Dr had also wrote the orders for me to have it.  So no one knew what to do. I finally told them to just leave it, and they did. But sent me home with Cipro instead.

They didnt put me completely to sleep. Just sedated. I had no idea what was going on . I would wake up on occassion and the anestesia lady sitting behind me would say I was ok and out Id go. I never felt any pain,  but I could feel them moving around.  I wish they would have just put me under general now though. The sedation served me way worse. I was sick to my stomach and dizzy all night and the next day. With the general I was fine in a few hours.

After the surgery they bandaged me up like I had been in a war. Didnt tell me much though. The Dr didnt stop to talk to me really other than to just ask if I was ok. He went out and spoke with Michael but pretty much just told him the surgery was over, I was ok, and they would be out to get him in a few minutes. I talked to the nurses and asked about how much they had to take out and they said “Oh not a whole lot.” but  oh not a whole lot to them may be OMG a heck of a lot to me.  So I guess I will find out Monday when I go back to the Dr and get these bandages off.

 They sent me home with some strong pain meds. I took 3 but since Ive just been taking tylenol. I hate that crazy feeling from the pain meds.

Today Im feelin more normal and have to get up and do a few things.

More later.
