My journey began!
So I arrived at SRMC for my procedure at 0930 hours, and all went well.  I was taken into pre-op pretty swiftly... and the torture begins.

There was another person in pre-op and not sure why he was there but he had like 8 people on his side of the room and they of course kept spilling over onto my side and I swear their favorite topic of discussion the entire time I was there was FOOD!!!!  I was so ready to seriously go off...as it was just ridiculous that this mob just kept yammering about nothing else but food.

So finally I got wheeled into surgery and I would like to explain more but the last thing I recall was them strapping my arms down and doing something with my feet.  I then woke up in recovery and felt pretty much ok, out of it for sure, but not in pain and just mildly uncomfortable.



So my stay went pretty good, minus the whole food and roomie issue which I will quit bitching about.  The staff at SRMC is beyond awesome.  I must say I do not think I would have asked a single one of them to do anything different. Arlynn, Ryan, Pilar, Linda, Jamie, Becky and all the rest of the wonderful staff who took such wonderful care of me thank you so much.  Even if I did get yelled at for walking too much.  I have had absolutely no complications to date and Dr. Nichols is as amazing as I thought he would be.  Not real talkative but very succinct and to the point.  Thanks Doc!!



So thats about it for now I will post more as this whole new life unfolds before me.
