Thursday started out in true Emily Style !!
I was in the shower at 9 getting all cleaned up and pretty to meet the Doc , looked down and saw that I was standing in water.. My drain is slow, but it ain�t that bad.. I knew something was way wrong.. Sure enough, the main drain backed up. I got outa the shower, before I could finish, called the house insurance people and had to wait by the phone for their contracted plumber to call..
By 10 Am no call and I had to leave to get my ass to Fresno !! Needless to say, Sam and Darrel waited here for the plumber to call and come fix the problem, and I drove myself to the hospital !! lol see told ya it was a True Emily Day ! sighs.. screams..
2 hours in the waiting/ prep room ( pre op�s pre op where they put in the IV and all that crap ) then another 30 mins in the actual pre op room. ( where you see the Doc and the anesthesiologist and tell him what makes you sick. ) I saw Doc and he said this time it�s would be done, he was sure !! lol then I saw the Anst doc, and he explained what we were gonna do today.. � Stick a tube up your nose and see what�s going on in there, then we�ll run the tube through your mouth that sends the air to you and makes you breathe, all while you�re awake..� I laid in that bed thinking, Oh Joy, just GIVE ME DRUGS while you do all this, and I�ll be just fine�
They finaly wheeled me into the OR and started this tube thing.. The nose one hurt, even though he gave me a shit load of nose spray that made me all numb.. He talked to me the whole time and the last thing I remember was gagging on the mouth tube, him taking it back out, me saying, strong gag reflex, and then poof I was gone !! out like a light.. he musta known that it was going to fit, or he would never have put me to sleep..
How ever long later, I was woke up and I still had that dam tube down my throat. They said "just relax we have to wait for the doc".. Somehow I kept semi relaxed cause I didn�t start getting sick with it.. They pulled it out, and back to sleep I went.. I have no clue how I got to my room, but I do remember the nurses asking, � Is there anyone in the waiting room � I said � yea, if the plumber left my house, there should be�
I was told that Hub kept tabs on me by phone, and then a little while later I saw him..
I wasn�t wheeled into my room until 8, I guess that there was a bed shortage that day ( hell the OR waiting room was packed to over flowing, that I remember ) then I saw Darrel and Rob.. ( Rob brought Darrel so that he could take the car home ) Then Friday I saw D arrel and Sam.. lol My poor roomie was sick as a dog, she had a hysterectomy and she started throwing up, all day, all night, she couldn�t keep anything down but a little water..
I kept everything down, all 2 to 3 teaspoons of it.. Morning, noon and night , water , beef broth and jello. ! !! It�s ok though, I�m home now and I can make more then just Red Jello !! LOL
The only bad thing that happened to me while I was there was that every time I would doze off to sleep, either the dam IV alarm would go off, or the phone would ring.. lol It�s ok though, the most I can sleep in a hospital is 15 to 20 mins and with my not sleeping any longer, my roomie, didn�t have to hear me snore.. LMAO
Oh and of course I had a drain tube in me, I ended up having a blow out with it twice.. I had to use my right side to get outa bed, and it was on the right, so I squished it a time or two or three but it only made a mess twice.. That was gross.. Laughing.. Yes I am ok now, Yes, the tube is gone now.. No more IV�s no tubes, nothing but staples are in me, and the Doc takes those out at my next apt, Thursday.. I have 6 little incisions and that�s it.. they aren�t too bad, and No I am not going to send anyone a pic of them, so don�t ask.. lol
