Surgery #4

Last Thursday Oct. 1st I had my 4th surgery since my accident on March 7th. This surgery I had to be at the hospital @ 6:30am and sit until 10:00am where they moved me to pre-op room. I  must say everyone at Hermann Memorial Hospital are incredibly sweet and personable. Around 11:30 they moved me to the real pre-op room and the anesthesiologist came and asked me all sorts of questions the most embarrassing was my weight in front of my Father and Count. From there they took me into the operating room. It was in there this time they gave me my relaxation cocktail. They were all so very sweet and held my hand as I went under. I woke up to this nurse speaking to a woman laying in a bed across from me. She was screaming the weirdest things. I cant remember exactly what she was saying but I started laughing and he walked over to me and said Hey! You awake? I said I guess so, is she alright? He said she is just coming out of the anesthesia. I was like is this what you do all day? He said yes, I monitor vitals and make sure everyone is ok when they wake up. I said what an interesting job. You must hear the craziest shit. He turned and said are you really awake and I said yes why? He was like b/c you are completely sober…I was like what do you mean? He said you are looking me in the eye and talking to me. I said is that wrong? He said well you just came out of major surgery and you arent moaning you are asking me if I am ok….hahahahaha Go figure. They then sent me back to some room where supposedly I dressed myself, at this point things become fuzzy and dont really remember but fragments of things for the next 30 hrs. It took that long for the anesthesia to wear off. That was the worst feeling ever. Luckily Count was there to take care of me. I am supposed to go get the staples removed this Friday and I find out that my Doctor is MIA for the next two weeks. I guess I am to pull them out myself? Hopefully the nurse will call me tomorrow with an answer to that question. I have a Dr’s appt on Oct. 20th to schedule my ACL surgery. I will have an update later.
