It's over! Hallelujah! Surgery was yesterday... not to be a pessimist, but I found everything about it to be awful. We were told to arrive at 8:00 am... but they didn't call us back until 9:20. This wasn't exactly the best thing for my nerves!
I think that they should have just knocked me out with anesthesia right then, kuz the anticipation was just killer! It wasn't until 10:30 until they wheeled me down into OR holding.
Talks with the anesthesiologist, talks with my 100th nurse for the day, talks with the doctor, talks with another doctor, talks with another nurse, talks with the anesthesiologist's assistant. Can't you just knock me out already? I would rather NOT see the operating room :(
Oh well.... the last thing I remember is coughing my guts out whilst the anesthesiologist put some type of mask over my face.
Then I woke up! I don't ever remember being so cold and in so much pain in my whole life. I couldn't control the shivering.
Thank goodness for nurses and pain killers.
Also, thanks goodness for Jon. I couldn't have done it without him.
Yes, we did name the cyst. She was Bertha- and I'm so happy to say that she is GONE! Come to find that she had another friend, too. Good riddance!
I actually slept pretty well last night... poor Jon was out on the couch. He was afraid he'd hurt me by moving around in the bed. He's such a trooper. Setting his alarm every four hours to give me food and pain meds... he's the best.
Now onto Day 2.
I already feel so much better than yesterday. I apologize right now if I blog too much this week. I just don't have much else to do except lie in bed! Ha!
But thank you for everyone's prayers and support. We couldn't have done it without you.
Seriously, good riddance! I'm glad everything went well! I hope you recover soon. Hang in there. :)
