backing up a moment.....day of surgery
May 24, 2013
My markup was Sunday night and went just as planned, we decided on 400 cc implants and i was able to visualize what was going to happen during surgery, i ate a light dinner of crab corn chowder (yukky), I was picked up at 7:30am by Dr. Sauceda with him in his scrubs, white lab coat and smelling delicious lol. We arrived at the clinic (purple and Vanilla) colored building, went to the 3rd floor and once again my tummy is upset, I have gas and have to poop (TMI), I finally get my tummy settled, Mrs. Dr. S comes in numbs my Left hand and starts my IV, she is awesome at this, I am then walking into the OR and told to strip down and stand on a blue pad, this is where Pamela starts washing me from the neck down with the warm iodine, LITERALLY it is a iodine bath lol, she is very sweet about it all even telling you before touching your genital area. We talk while she washes me about me being a nurse and she laughs saying I know what to do which makes her job easier lol, I keep my hands on the back of my head while she scrubs me down to keep from re-contaminating my body. I then go over to the OR table which is covered in sterile blue blankets, i turn and sit while still keeping my hands on the back of my head, i swing my legs onto the table, lay down and pamela places my right arm on a resting place where the Mrs. Dr. S is standing, my left hand just lies to my side. I was given a pill when my IV was started to relax me but it did nothing to calm my nerves in fact i felt nothing from it at all. I told Mrs. Dr. S I was scared and she said you sleep now, and i did lol, i woke up four times that i remember during surgery twice while being rolled onto my sides and then the other two times was during the thigh lipo, i felt no bad pain and wasn't worried i assume because of the meds but i did feel a small amount of burning, each time i would wake up i would look up at the awesome Mrs. Dr. S and she would say night night lol, and back to sleep i would go. I woke up from surgery with them putting my garments on me and wheeling me to my room, which was room 4 with very poor wifi, i would have to lean to the right side of the bed to keep a descent signal.
