All is well in the life of the Fairy Fag Mother.

I had emergency surgery this past Thursday (April 12th) for kidney stone removal.  It was the pits.  I suffered with the stones for over 2 weeks and finally, I couldn't take the pain anymore so my urologist booked me for a surgery right after his main practice closed.  I was admitted to the hospital at noon and was discharged that night at midnight.  The procedure was quick and easy.  It only lasted an hour.  It was getting to that point that was hard.  It took over 3 hours to get my IV in because my veins are so deep.  They had to call in the PIC line nurse to look at my veins with her ultrasound machine and she finally got an IV into me but had to numb me up with Lidocaine first.  Once we got into the OR though, that IV decided to blow and they had to give me another.  Luckily the anathesologist was damn good and got a fucking IV in me the first time around.  No one could believe it.  All was good until they told me I had to have a mother fucking spinal.  I was already a nervous wreck and then when I found out about the spinal, well.. I about gave myself a heart attack worrying.  The doctor was amazing and numbed me first and I didn't feel anything until... he popped the needle into the spine.  Even then, it wasn't that bad.  Then the next thing I knew.. I woke up!  I was terrified.  I told every doctor and nurse in the OR not to kill me because I still have things to look forward to in my life like getting married, having kids, growing old, etc.  They all laughed at me and told me I would be fine.  I was fine in the end but holy shit, that was scary.  Once I got home, the spinal started wearing off and the kidney spasms started.  I thought I was going to die.  Seriously.  No joke.  I have never felt pain like that before.  I ended up passing out on the bathroom floor.  It was horrible.  The doc forgot to warn my Mom and Ed about it so they were really freaked out.  I didn't know it but both of them were in tears too.  It was awful.  If it weren't for my back still being a bit sore from the spinal and me having a cold which has turned my body into the national snot factory, I would be back to normal.  Ed has been amazing.  He hasn't left my side once through this whole thing.  I have never seen the poor guy so nervous in my entire life as he was when I went into surgery.  He confided in me afterwards that he was terrified but man, he was like my rock before hand.  He wouldn't let me know he was nervous AT ALL.  He did good.  He knew if I knew he was nervous then I would be 100x more nervous.

Ed and I went to Laughlin, NV and Vegas in February.

Oh fuck.. I'm tired.  I'll finish this shit later :D
