Surgery Day

I was talking to my friend today. She just got her implants on Thursday. I started remembering about the day of my surgery. I wasn't nervous at all. I got up in the morning took a shower and headed over to the hospital. I went in a room and changed and the next thing I knew I was being called into another room. I walked down the hall. I was surprisingly calm. I think I was almost in shock I had been waiting for this for so long. I went into the room and the nurse came in and checked all my vitals and I talked to the anesthesiologist. Everyone was super nice. They made me feel very calm and not nervous at all. Then my doctor came in and took some pictures and made some marks. Next thing I knew they gave me a cocktail and I was being pushed down the hall. I don't really remember much. The last thing I remember was lying on the table and there being a bunch of people in the room. Then voila 29 minutes later I was a new woman. It was the best spent 29 minutes of my life.

I guess I slept for a long time after the surgery was over. The nurse asked my husband if I was a good sleeper and he was like you have no idea. I eventually woke up. I didn't feel too bad at all. The nurse got me up and gave me a muffin and some ginger ale. I was like this is too easy. Then I had to stand up and that was a whole different story. I had to put my clothes on and go to the restroom. I started feeling really nauseous. But I think it was from the percocet. I sat back down and after about 10 minutes I was fine. They wheeled me out and put me in my car. I was very surprised about how alert I was. I remember the whole car ride home called my friends and family. I thought I was going to be like a zombie. I was very pleased how well and easy everything turned out.

My friend said the same thing. She was glad that I wasn't lying to her when I told her about my experience. Like I said before I would do it all over again in a second. If you are nervous about the actual surgery don't be. It will definitely be worth it in the end =)
