Recovery

Well Surgery went well. I got there at 10 am surgery being scheduled for 12 pm. I had it done at Greenville Memorial and while they get you ready you have your own room, which was pretty cool. Of course my veins are shot from all the previous times in the past I've had to get stuck. My RN had a hard time finding a vein for the IV, and had to get someone else to look. I ended up having it put in the inside of my wrist.. yes ouch. After the IV was in they gave me some medicine to relax me. The Dr. came in to talk with me before surgery and something I have never seen before he asked if he could pray with me. I thought that was awesome. Before to long they were coming into wheel me to the OR. We got outside the room and had to wait (I guess they had to finish setting up), the RN came out and introduced her self to me, and let me know she would be in the surgery with me. I said I didn't get to speak to the anesthesiologist , as this man was standing there says, didn't you speak to someone at pre op. I said yes but I needed someone here to be aware of the problems before, he then states he would be the one putting me to sleep. I became slight upset and told him a briefly about what happened in the past and I wanted everyone to be aware. He reassured me everything would be OK and they would watch my Blood Pressure closely. I think he may have been a little annoyed with me because the next thing he says is I gave you some more medicine, and that was the last thing I remember, before I was even in the room.
We got home about 4:45 and I went to bed. I slept until the next morning at 7am. When they put you out like that, that's always the best sleep. I am thankful for my friend picking up Connor from daycare and bringing him home.
Connor has been very good and very careful around me. When I showed him my stomach he looked at it weird.
Today I ended up sleeping until 2pm. This weekend Connor is with his visit Nana for their weekend visits. I don't know what this weekend will bring, but I am honestly thinking I would be OK to go back to work by the middle of next week. I have a Dr. apt set for next Friday. I know my Dr. has to sign off on papers before I can even return so I am not sure how that will work. I plan on resting more this weekend, getting some things organized, and getting back on my coupon clipping.
