10:15AM n...10AM arrived at hospital and checked in.<br />10:15AM nurse told me I'd been moved from #3 to #2 in the surgery lineup, said she didn't want me to feel as if they were giving me the bum's rush but they wanted me to be ready. <br />10:30AM I was in my lovely blue paper gown on under a pre-warmed blanket.<br />11AM still waiting. Requests for Demerol unfulfilled. No pain, just requesting for the woozy factor.<br />11:30AM still waiting. Getting a little bored. And a little HOT. Still no Woozy Medication.<br />Patient #1 was having a gall bladder removed....that apparently should have been removed ten years ago. Sixty or more stones in it. (Listening through curtains to the next cubby is a useful skill.)<br />NOON still waiting.<br />Sometime in the morning Dr. S. came by and asked if I had any questions, and I asked him if I would have a dent. He said that was a good way to describe it. "But that'll change." <br />"Yeah, fat moves around," I said. "I'm familiar with that." <br />12:25 Nurse said, "Soon now."<br />12:38 Into the OR. Anesthesiologist said "Okay, here it comes."<br />"Daytie-day," I said. "What time is it?"<br /><br />1:20PM My eyes popped open. "Wow, that was quick!"<br /><br />I stayed there, with Husband sitting at my bedside until ....Oh I don't know....2PM? Later? Time is very elastic this afternoon. I have no idea how it got to be 6:15PM already.<br />Doctor S. came by, I told him he was my favorite person. He said, smiling, "You've had a lot of drugs." <br />I asked him how big the thing was and he said, "The size of a squash ball...and perfectly round." (I've Googled that because I don't know metric; it's about 1-1/2", a little teeny bit smaller than a golf ball.)<br />"Did it bounce?" I asked.<br />"I didn't check," he responded, with appropriate dry humor.<br /><br />IT has gone off to the lab, I'll see the doctor on Tuesday.<br />I'm home until Monday (got my NOTE!), and I have my favorite prescription pain med).<br />Poor Husband's sleeping. I think the waiting person has a harder time than the patient. He's driving seven hours away tomorrow. Caregiver friend coming at 10AM tomorrow.<br /><br />It's chilly. I wish it were warmer so I could sit on the patio, but whaddayagonnado?Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11710135137635433217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179072149199219335.post-62695244879020571192010-05-11T16:36:08.399-04:002010-05-11T16:36:08.399-04:00I trust all will be well.
