dr.schirmers team was great from what i remember anyways on sec i was in the surgical suite getting pics taken and saying bye to my son and mom and i remember them going to get something to eat so i gave them my UVA badge to use in the cafeteria because i put a certain amout of lunch money on it every payday and i had not been there in months so it built up to like 120 dollars...lol
anyways one of the nurses said we are going to give you something to tale the edge off for you so after she gave it i was lik whoooo, thats what im talkin about head all spinnin cant focus it was funny so they started wheeling me out of the room and they were talking to me about the other patients that had alredy had surgery and i said everything is really blurry, and that was at about 11:30ish and then i woke up all finished with the surgery and hot hot hot hot but no pain what so ever no tubes no draines nothing no stitching or staples i was glued or that liquid bandaid stuff it was cool but it was almost 5pm i was like did i just go thrugh a time warp here at uva?!?#
but my hospital stay was great everybody was sweet and very dilligent i walked fine once i was up anyways..lol
