Surgery

So I apologize in advance for not telling anybody what my surgery was, but a.) it's embarassing and b.) it's embarassing. LOL. I will say that it's not me getting my boobs done as my students were guessing. Ha! I only told a couple of people,but with that said, I hope you understand, and the reason I'm writing about it is because lots of you are asking, so here goes! =)


So I went in on Friday around 7:30am and went through registration and all that good stuff. What is it about surgery that scares the crap out me? Well, besides the possibility of throwing up from anesthesia, I think it's more of the unknown of the actual surgery. I saw a show once where people were under anesthesia yet felt every single part of their surgery. Extremely rare, yes I know, but hey, it's possible, right?! Sat around forever and and waited for my anesthesiologist. She called me on Thursday night and left a message and I knew I didn't care for her then. Have you ever had it when you hear someones voice and get a little uneasy? This was her. My thoughts were correct as when she showed up 30 min or so after my surgery should have started she looked like she just got home from the club. Her hair was literally a mess (in every direction)  greasy, and looked like she'd found her scrubs in a pile of clothes, sniffed them to make sure they smelled okay and were clean so she threw them on. But hey, she knocked me out and I didn't throw up so I guess she ends up being awesome in my book! Got home Friday evening and have just been relaxing since then. My mom has been walking Scout which is so nice so I just get to lay around. My pain is NOTHING EVEN CLOSE to the horror stories I had read about before this surgery so I feel extremely lucky, and am SO glad I got this done. Still have one more hurdle to cross but after that, it's all downhill from here! I must be one of the abnormally easy recoveries. 


So far I'm realllllly enjoying being off work! Although my days are going to be really mixed up and I could go back to work next Monday because I'm feeling so well, I'm not going to. If they actually paid me for all of my extra days I would go back, but they don't so I won't. Sure wish they did though. I'll still have a crapload of days left over even after being gone for 10 days.


I also want to thank all of my friends for calling and checking on me. It's just so sweet to know that people are thinking about you and asking if I need anything. So sweet it makes me want to cry! =) So THANK YOU!!! xoxoxo I've also got a giant pile of magazines that I'm beginning to read and recycle so if you want some, just ask and they're yours!
