surgery done hopefully

Monday I went in for surgery. I was scheduled for surgery at 930 in the morning but didn’t get in until noon. Jess had to work and my mom was watching Kacey so I had no one to come hang out with me in the hospital. That sucked but I just watched tv. The nurse I had was nice but I think she was new or just not good at IVs because she thought she put the IV in my vein and so she said if she didn’t and it wasn’t in the vein my arm would start to swell up because the saline would go in the tissue. So she left to go take care of another patient after waiting like 5-10 minutes to make sure she had it in the vein. Well after about 10 minutes after she left my fingers started tingling and I noticed my wrist area was hurting a little like the tape was too tight and my fingers were getting cold so I hit the call button and a pregnant lady came in and asked what I needed and I told her my fingers were tingling and my wrist was hurting a little bit like the tape was too tight around my arm. So she went to go get my nurse which she took forever to come back in and we came to find out the IV wasn’t in the vein. So she took out the IV and wrapped my arm in a warm blanket to get the feeling coming back and had to send in another nurse to get an IV going.

I finally get down to surgery and actually don’t remember much except waking up in recovery with my CPAP on feeling really sleepy. They took me up to the surgical floor and I tried to stay awake but I had a bad headache and had these annoying bouts of nausea keep hitting me. It sucked. My neck didn’t really hurt though so that was good. I did have a roommate she had her appendix taken out and the next day she was gone so she must have left during the night and I didn’t know about it. Jess did come by after he got off work and stayed for a bit. The next day I was feeling much better. The doctor came and saw me and said that they only took out my right side and that the frozen section they took was still iffy so I’m scheduled to see him Monday to find out if I have to go back and get the other side taken out. I really hope not.

Well guess that’s the update for now.
