I went into the hospital on 5/15 all set to start my life on the "Other Side" and got side tracked !! I woke up to hear, " Sorry we couldn't intubate you, so we couldn't do your surgery" Talk about loosing it, I was crying and in total shock for a little bit untill it hit me that my Doc said " We'll try again !!" When they went to tube me, they found out that it wouldn't fit, my throat is too small !! I was told that they worked for a good 30 mins trying to put that thing in me, and let me tell ya, I felt it over the next 3 days ! Owchies !! I felt like I had been beat up !! My neck, throat inside and out, even my back hurt !! Anyways, we are going to try this again the first week of June but by tubing my nose this time !! Am I ready to try this again ?? You Betcha !! I'll keep you all posted ! |

| May 21, 2002 I just called the Doc's office and I am scheduled for an apt for 1:30 Pm on May 31st. He wants to check me out and see how I'm healing from the last try ( at being tubed ). |
| May 26, 2002 I'm still waiting to go see the Doc.. I'm scared to death that he's going to say " Sorry but we can't do this surgery to you at all." I must admit that is my biggest fear right now.. Going in and going through all of that ( the operation) doesn't scare me at all, it's just a small part of the bigger picture.. .oO( I hope that made sense to someone other then me ) |
| May 29,2002 Well I just got the call from the Doc's office and I have a new date !! Does the happy dance.. June 6, @ 1:30 Pm.. I need to be there 2 hours early so they can do all that pre op prep stuff.. I'm happy and scared to death that they will wake me up again and say " Sorry we couldn't do it again ".. But I am willing to take that chance, it's that important to me to have it done.. Cross your fingers for me... Thanks.. Ems.. |
