Back from surgery. It went ok. Turned out it was a lot more extensive than first thought. The local anesthesia is beginning to wear off and the first twinges of "owwwwies" are beginning. The doctor said that days 2-6 would be a beast painwise, so I'm avoiding taking any of the Vicodin until then. Surprisingly, the surgical experience wasn't so bad. The doctor was cool. The anesthesiologist was too. Both pretty cute too. (I didn't get a chance to ask if either were married b/c they were wearing rubber gloves and couldn't detect wedding bands.) Both were accommodating in regard to the direction I wanted to go with treatment and that I only wanted local anesthesia. I was wheeled into the OR around 8:16 and was dressed and out the door by 9:30. (Granted I had to wait until 11:30 for my medications...) My only complaints were: the IV wasn't put in very well and I had to keep my wrist at a really awkward position or the IV wouldn't drip. (I know Nurse Nancy would NEVER do anything like that!) they didn't have any heated blankets - only sheets and my feet get so darn cold with that cold IV running in me (so I had on 3 pr of socks) they wouldn't provide a 2nd hospital gown so you had to hold on to the back as to avoid flashing anyone a peek of your posterior. But I was a good girl, so I got ginger ale and graham crackers when I was dressed. :) |

Did the crackers have cinnamon on them? Those rock!
Hope the pain isn't too bad. Get better soon!

No cinnamon... In all of my post-op experiences, never encountered cinnamon-topped grahams.
But you DO realize you can actually buy them at the grocery store, don't you?

I'm glad to hear it went well. My anesthesewhoosit was adorable, too! and that was before the meds ;)

sorry this is late but I'm glad you made it through OK! and you are right, recovery is easier when the patient is nice and warm in the OR, and my IVs NEVER fail to work properly!! depends on the veins ,tho!!

Everyone ALWAYS raves about what great veins I have. (I'd much rather have a great ass but apparently we don't get much say in the situation)
I still have an awful bruise from where the IV went. And she was a nursing supervisor. (Maybe she was out of practice?)
I was a really nice patient - I shaved my legs and gave myself a pedicure ahead of time. I was there early, was cooperative and followed instructions.I didn't throw up on anyone and I was polite...
