well I did it
it's over...

So my day started when I got to the Day Op center and waited for 15 minutes or so. So when I got there, they made me basically sign my life away. They called my name to come into the back, and with that I kissed Mom and Dad goodbye (both of which were crying) and walked into the back beggin them if i could have a parent with me, but I am 19 so that's a no.
So then the lovely nurse takes me in the back... and tells me to change and come out and sit on one of the chairs to talk to me. I do that and she basically asked me when was the last time you ate... 10 last night and crap like that..then Im sitting there and sitting there watching people get ivs getting really nervous and then i ask the nurse where my surgeron is... and am i getting an iv now (bc that was frankly the only thing on my mind). so then she tells me that hes a bit back logged and i asked her to go tell my parents that I wasn't goin to be going in til who knows when. When she came back she ended up sneaking my mom back since she was a nervous wreck. Then my surgeron came out and started talking to me and things... and im like okay okay.. then my anthesthiologist came out and talked to me about the whole thing and once he found out that i dont work well with that he put a patch behind my ear to help with the coming outta it. Then the nurse who was going to be with me came in and talked to me and i warned all three of them in not good with needles... so then the nurse said it's fine it's not going to hurt and im like well that's easier for you to say... so then i walk into the OR shaking and i sit on the table. the nurse is tlaking to me, the anthesiologist comes in and figures putting it in my hand will be best... which was a good thing SINCE it didn't hurt at all... and then i passed out ....

All I know is around 1 pm i start coming through barely breathing through oxygen and hearing beats coming from behind me.... and then the nurse is like how are you doing and i pass out again. When im finally able to keep my eyes open for a minute, i ask for water or ice and a parent... she tells me that i have to breathe that's why i have the oxygen on me since I wasn't breathing well...
Mom comes in... and im out...
I got a few shots of morphine and something for the nausea and things
all i know is from that point when im finally awake and trying to stay awake - i got really nauseous and dizzy and then they put me back on oxygen for another hour bc i couldn't breathe on my own that well....
and then I threw up nothing... and i drank ginger ale and threw up that... which is always good...

the nurse tells me i have to be there til 345... four hours... and im like grrrrr
so eventually says it's time to get you to sit up and i can't so i pass out again and when i wake up i was really dizzy,,,
then she got me in a chair... and by then everything was off cept for the IV and then i was stll drowsy and i got more ginger ale.... and went to wait in the 2nd recovery room...and threw up.

the nurse there said that youd think i went for major horrible surgery with the way i was reacting to the anthesthic.

after holding down fluids i got dressed barely... and went home

i got home
passed out... for a bit...

luckily i have a lil pain just and a lot when i swallow
