One week ago......I had 2 surgeries

One week ago I was sitting in the admitting station at KGH getting checked in for my surgery and thinking.....I am soooo nervous and scared.  It was the kind of anxiety I had when I had all my children.  Walking into the hospital, looking at all the people I pass by and wonder "what is their story?", are they in pain, are they rejoicing, are they for ever changed in some way?? 
As soon as I head to the surgical ward around 10:30(chaperoned by my Jay, Sarah and a wonderful volunteer at KGH) the butter flies are doing some funky cirque du solieil moves in my belly.  I get checking in the waiting room and look at all the people there.....they are all as scared as me.  You can tell because we don't say a word to each other and all we want to hear is our name being called so we can get this over as soon as possible.  I waited at least 2 1/2 hours before I took the walk down the hall to my "final destination"!!  Seeing all the nurses and Dr. Leon was a bit more comforting.  I knew I was in good hands. But by NO MEANS was is like Grey's Anatomy.  That kind of McDreamy stuff must put a lot of pressure on the doctors and what we expect!!  I am glad McDreamy didn't have to see me that way...I'll save that for another fantasy haha!!
By this time, I had sent Jay & Sarah home hours ago and was trying to concentrate on my book Cider House Rules.....couldn't concentrate so I told them to give me my book when I got out of surgery.
So who am I kidding.....I was going to read today??  Ha ha, between coming out of my general, getting gravol for my nausea and Demerol for my pain....I was out ALL day.  Jay picked me up at 9pm.
I couldn't wake up thoroughly and wasn't passing any of the "tests" I needed to to get the OK to go home.
So my basically "drunken" state I slept ALL day.  Can't remember the last time I did that!  I even fell asleep after I had one bite of my cracker, the only food I got that day......the nurses thought I was a hoot!!

So here I sit, and I haven't been out for a week, really ONE WEEK!!  Can't do anything for the next couple of weeks (housework, shopping, zumba, swimming,etc...) So if anyone feels like coming over to be my maid, I will take you, no questions asked....Jay is back to work as of yesterday so I try to be a mom, day care provider and everything I am supposed to.  Try...

ps.....I laugh at my little bag i packed for the hospital stay....a book, lip balm and PURELL!!  Survival I tell you, survival!
