so i got my tonsils out this morning. if i say anything weird it's probably the hydrocodone talking..or however you spell the crap. all i know is it's orange and tastes like pee?? *shrug*
got in the surgery center at about 7 and my surgery was scheduled for 8. the iv lady came and poked me. it was actually pretty cool. i could wiggle my vein around (which i later regreted..bruising)
so she did that and then this really cute guy came. then anestesiologist. well, he gave me this groggy stuff that makes the good stuff work faster and immediately i started saying stupid stuff (so i'm told) i told him i was challenging him and was gonna stay up as long as i could. he was like 'heh'.
this big black guy, my nurse came over and said hey. the two acted like a team and made me laugh which made more people laugh at me.
mom kept asking me questions of which i didn't know the answer so my reply- "you ask the stupidest questions"
after that i was wheeled through the double doors (scary as hell) and they took me into this room with a whole bunch of headlamps. before i knew it, they had hit the overhead light and flipped on the lamps. then i hear 'goodbye allison'..okay, you tell me..looking straight into a light and hearing those words wasn't the most pleasant experience so before i knew it i woke up in recovery and was asking if they started yet. they wouldn't let me take the oxygen mask off so i did it myself. i got 20 extra minutes for that.
then we sat for two hours in the other recovery room with my parents got a popscicle, threw up a bit, and went home.
now my face is swollen, i can't talk, and my nose bleeds from time to time. and hydrocodone doesn't do anything but make me drowsy as heck.
i've got these four pits in the back of my throat to top it all off!
goodbye for now
