I can't believe I just did what I did

Dec 20, 2008

I am stunned. I actually went thru with the wls.  Went in early Thirsday morning. very nervous but some how settled down after I seen Dr. P. that is utnil I went into the OR. I was so scared I didnt move and don't remember anything after that until I was wheeled on the elevator to go up to my room.

I thought for sure I was going to wake up in intense pain,  but no, it was very bearable. They showed me how to use the pca. that may have helped. I ws kinda out of it for aboput an hour until my gf and niece came in. They went shopping of all the things to do while I am in surgery.

the next couple of days was rotuine.  I did my laps, breathing exercises, breathng tx and peed forever.

Lortabs are a wonderful thing. Not to groggy and no pain. I wish I had my laptop, cuz I was bored yesterday.
Barix needs to intsall laptops and better tvs for the pts comfort. The room was very nice. Just me and very spaceuos(sp)
Th staff was oustanding. Very informative and down to earth. Once I told them I was a paramedic. they kinda just told me what I needed to do and let me do it, how I wanted to do it. they didn't bug me once.
Dr. P. was fabulous.  I wish I could get rid of this gas though.

If anybody has a question about Barix, Dr. Pupkova or Lap GB sent me a pm.
