Well, surgery is tomorrow morning. It'll be about a 4 hour procedure, with 2 hours for me to wake up and check for reactions, and then I come home to recover. So, if I'm at any point coherent tomorrow night, I'll be calling folks.
The thought of the drain tubes is kinda 'ew', and I'm not thrilled about the part where they pull the tubes back out. But I'm probably making it worse in my head than it is in reality.
Oo, I got good drugs waiting. I don't think I've had drugs this strong before, so it'll be a good time. Codeine made me happy for a half hour and then I passed out. This stuff will be better. I bet I drop straight into the coma. Like, swallow = coma.
This is also my first time under anethesia, so I'm really curious how it'll be. Now I'll have stories of how many numbers I managed to count back till I was out. The longest I heard was 9. So I must attempt to reach 8. Oh, and they said they'd gas me so there was no waking up in the middle of it. Waking up in mid-surgery is not on my life list of goals, so it all works out.
I'm trying not to think about the whole situation too hard, cause I don't want to freak myself out. Like, the reality hasn't fully hit yet, and I hope it doesn't hit until it's already over.
Well, I'll be wandering Second Life tonight, so, caio until I can string coherent sentences together! ^^
