Surgery day

Barely any nerves and only hours til the surgery...I got up around 3:30am and did my hair, makeup, and got all beautified! In know...I  know... but I was extremely bored and my hubby was sleeping! So I got all ready in the dark and then laid in bed til 4:45 til it was time to wake the husband for the days adventure!

5am we are a little late to surgery...how could I ever have guess that! I'm married a man that is late for everything!!! We finally arrived at St. Johns Hospital in Springfield, IL for the surgery (with my parents joining us) we all visited until it was time to go up to the surgical floor!

Around 5:30 we got called up to the Surgical floor and brought into a room were we had to sit til 7:30 til we saw anybody that was anybody! We meet with nurses and doctors, and more nurses, and admissions registrations, and more doctors until I was finally all IV'd up and until they had all the information they needed! This was it! It was TIME! Oh boy was I still ok...wait a minute "aren't I supposed to be freaking out and nervous because if I am I'm not!"

The adventure began I was wheeled back by two really nice nurses, whom we all share the same month birthdays lol...a bit random I know! Any who, one nurse was a guy and he had the most gorgeous eyes! These blue eyes that had huge dark lining on the outside and inside and he never left me eye sight he was the last thing/person I saw, very calming(I think GOD knew I needed it) THANK YOU!

What must have been hours later...I remember waking in a freezing cold room with alot of other people moaning and crying for pain pills.(must be a huge room for surgical patients) I was stuck there in severe pain with no voice and strapped to a bed and I couldn't open my eyes due to extreme eye pain! I cried and cried until I must have made my blood pressure drop because within seconds there where tons of hands on me and voices, and I could hear them calling my hubby and telling them I would be going to ICU - 5or6 hours after being stuck in that room I finally got admitted into the ICU!!! I still couldn't see or control my pain, I slept what seemed like days and don't remember to much of anything except some random parts of people talking! The next day after surgery was about the same, miserable, painful, partially blind, and sick to my stomach! I will try to get another post up soon but this one has taken me most of the day to get up so be patient with me:)
