Woo Hoo, my 1st Surgery is Over!!!

Well my surgery was bright and early this morning. After not sleeping a wink I got up at 4. My Mom, Stephen, and I were out the door at 4:45. We got to the hospital about 5:20. I checked in, filled out even more paper work, and then went up stairs to where the surgery was going to take place. Shortly after I got up there I was taken to my pre-op room to put on my lovely gown. The gowns there are called Bair Paws...they have all these crazy ports in them that you can put this long tube that shoots hot air into your gown (See Pictures to the right).Everyone who came in my room asked if I wanted it hooked up to my gown....my answer was always no. Stephen kept being funny and tried to hook it to my gown. Anyway,next one of my many sweet nurses came in to hook up my IV and ask even more questions. It is crazy how many times they ask you your full name, birthday, the procedure you are having, and who your doctor is. At 7:30 they wheeled me back to the operating room. Even though I have had surgery before I was scared to death. The anesthesiologist asked me how I was, I told her I was nervous but ready to get it over with. She said that she gave me a little something for that and then I don't remember anything till I woke up in the recovery room. In the recovery room I woke up feeling a little out of it and crampy but not to bad. Dr. W went out to let Mom and Stephen know that my surgery went well. He said that he removed a small polyp and that the rest of my uterus looked good. After recovery I went to my discharge room. The sweet nurse gave me graham crackers and a coke. Shortly after Mom and Stephen came in. I got dressed back in my normal clothes and then it was time to go home. After I got home I caught up on some of my shows on the DVR and then took a much needed nap. Right now I am feeling good, still just crampy, and thankful that the whole thing is over. Tomorrow it is time to start my shots!
