Surgical Adventures May 2019

I am no stranger surgery, but I don't like it one bit.  I hate being still and the whole recovery process after a procedure. However, I keep finding myself needing more and more surgery and procedures these days. So, I thought I would start documenting how much fun I can have with them...

Adventures in Pre-Op...
Doctor:   We are debating on the type of material to be used in your hernia repair. Do you have anything against pigs?
Me:  I like bacon!!!

Nurse: You seem very calm and happy to be going in to surgery... and you haven't had any drugs yet.
Me:  I am fun like that!!
Anesthesiologist:  She's gonna be a blast to take under...
Nurse:  I know... I can hardly wait!!
Me:  Have fun while I nap, but just make sure I wake up at some point today!

Adventures in Recovery...
Nurse:  You are waking up.   How do you feel?
Me:  Fine, but this double vision is super weird.
(Looks over at husband)  Uh, NO!!  One of those has got to go... I definitely can't handle more than one!!
Steve:  Shall I go home and get the boys?
Me:  Absolutely NOT!!!  (There are probably many inappropriate words that should be inserted during this loving exchange, but we don't need to go there right now... 😂)

 Adventures in the Hospital Room...
(At the end of the day)
Steve:  Should I pull these window shades down?
Me:  Sure I plan to sleep in, so it's good to have it dark.  It's been a nice view for the day!
(Realizes I can see every thing, including people coming and going and wonder if they can see me?  Then quickly calculates how many trips to the bathroom I made in the backless hospital gown... 😟)

Life is a journey people... might as well make it a fun one even if doesn't feel like it should be!!
