Okay well an update....I had ankle surgery on 8-5-09 I had a plate and six pins put in...got a DVT and was in the hospital for 2 days....then saw a vascular surgeon...and spent 4 days in fairview southdale hospital...going down to interventional radiology twice a day to get the 3 foot clot out...3 stents later and I am fixed.  They found that I have May-thurner syndrome and that is why I got the clot in the first place.  I am so glad that it is September....the last 2 months have been quite terrible for me and now that I am actually feeling better and can walk somewhat..YAY!!!

Well the last week has really sucked!! On Thursday July 30 I went to the endodontist to have #19 worked on, already had a root canal and a crown and I had an abscess, so he cut my gum...and got all the pus icky stuff out, cut off my root tips and filled them and then stitched me up.  Got home around 1:00pm.  Took a Vicodin at 1:30, and this is were it gets fuzzy....I called my friend Jenni to see if Brandon could sleep over (both Ally and Amber had girlfriends over)...she came over I think about 3:30, or maybe 4:00.  Okay now I have to tell you what she and Allyson said happened cuz I have no clue at all.  They said I told them I was not feeling good and then walked to my truck, was getting in and the next thing they knew I did the nestea plunge right out of the truck and had a seizure.  I remember waking up to Brandon putting a cool washcloth on my face and Jenni on the phone with someone, the next thing you know...fire rescue and the ambulance are there...and yes i knew them all....I got to the hospital and they did a CT scan of my head..yep I do still have a brain and I am still as crazy as ever...but nothing to indicate why I had a seizure...oh they did all kinds of blood tests also.  I told the ER doc that my left ankle was hurting, he looked at it and asked if the bruising was from the accident or before...i said...well it wasn't there this morning...he said that i needed it x rayed.  Well I broke my ankle...that's it...went home...went to the orthopedic surgeon on Friday and he tells me I did a doozie on my ankle...I have to have a plate and screws put in to put it back together...YIKES!  So that's where I am now...waiting to have yet another surgery(on Wednesday August 5...ICK! And I don't know how long I am going to be out of work....this kinda sucks!  Oh yeah...and with all this lovely stress I have a huge cold sore..and my pills are to big to take..even cut in half....okay now I am just whining!!!

Well here it is July 11 and I have been home from the hospital for 3 days.

I had to be at the hospital at 5:15am....first we went and picked up my best friend Jenni, then off to the hospital.  I got called back to a room. I had to be at 251 for Dr. Benn to do my surgery, and I had no idea if I had lost any weight...so there I sit in the little room with just a gown on, all by myself, and what did I see??? yep, a scale!!  I very nervously stepped on the scale, really wanting to puke, 250!!!!!!!!  Whew I was relieved!!  Next the told me Fred could come back, I was so glad to see him.  I was moved to the pre-op room where they started and IV and I met with the anesthesiologist the nurse anesthesiologist and finally Dr. Benn.  I said good bye and I love you to Fred then was wheeled into surgery, I remember them telling me to just breath the oxygen, then poof I was in room 327 with Fred and Jenni.  I really was hurting and did not want to move a muscle, that morning at about 2am I kept pushing that little happy button...nothing.  I looked at my hand and it was HUGE, you could not even see my knuckles and I could not bend my fingers, my IV had infiltrated, so on to find a good vein in my other hand, remember I am now dehydrated...OH JOY!!  4 pokes later I had another IV, now the morphine worked.  The next day I was up walking, that hurt but I kept doing it.  I got a really bad headache...it sucked! The morphine would not even help!  Then my nurse Mary came in to find me sitting on the edge of my bed holding my head moaning that I was going to throw up.  God bless Zofran and IV morphine!  Slept fairly well that night, I think at least 6 hours which I really thought was a miracle!  Then next day was good, I went home.

My daughter Allyson graduates from Highschool today at 2:00...sniff sniff, where did all that time go???

Anyways....my surgery is on 7-6-09, the surgery starts at 7:30, and I have to be there at 5:30...YIKES!! (I am not a morning person...not a bit!!)

I am excited, but scared to...the funny thing is that I am just nervous about sleeping overnight for a few nights, I am brining my own pillow and my pink fuzzy blanket...but I just can't sleep in a hospital!!!

I love my best friend Jenni, she is the one that is bringing me to the hospital, and she has went to all my appointments with me...she is the greatest and I don't think that I could do this without her!!

Okay I am the most NOT patient person in this whole world...I think I am going to go crazy crazy crazy!!!  Gina e mailed me and said the fairview computers were down...so they are sending my referal in today or tomorrow...UGH!  I think that if I am approved that will make me feel loads better...I hope at least, its the whole not knowing that is driving me batty!!!  So now I have to think about when I should call HealthPartners, probably not till next week...and next week is going to suck..I work Sunday night, Monday night, Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night..I dont know how I am going to handle that...its only one extra night, but looking at in on paper...well it looks like I am really crazy!! HA HA!!!! Maybe Gina will call me saying that I am approved before I even have a chance to call HealthPartners...would that not just be a hoot!!!!
