I woke up for my Demerol, and now I'm bored... and can't get back to sleep.
=)
So, I decided I'd get the whole story out on paper before I forget it all.... As some of you know I had surgery on my foot yesterday, the docs said it went well. But that's not the part I remember... I was under general anesthesia - so I wouldn't know.
The part I remember comes right before they took me back...
But I'll start at the beginning.
*fades into a story*
So I had to be there at 7:30, we pulled up [still fairly dark outside] and walked in. They handed us some paperwork and asked a bunch of questions, then they told us to sit down a nurse would be with me shortly. As soon as we sit down my Dad recognizes someone - the youth pastor at solid rock. So he turned and started talking to him. And about that time PJ walked in.
[which btw I asked everyone not to come, because it wasn't a big deal, and I wasn't nervous and I just didn't want blow this out of proportion]
So PJ walked in sat down and started talking to my Dad... and that youth pastor - I forgot his name... Dudley? or something like that... *shrugs* The nurse came out and called "Stone... Stone" I stood up and went back to the little area with the beds - they asked me a bunch more questions including "Are you on/or do you do any funny drugs?" I was like, uhm - no.
So then she handed me this gown - which shouldn't even have been called a gown. And told me to take everything off except my underwear and put it on. So I did. And then quickly crawled back into the bed. Then the nurses came back...
So I found out yesterday that I don't like needles - at all. Like this is like, a major phobia. I've only had an iv one other time, and it was well over 6 years ago. Anyway, so I'm gritting my teeth and my heart racing while she's saying "try to stay calm... it's just a small one" it was almost awful.
So then after that was all over, I asked my Mom to go get my Rubik's cube. She came back and was like "Dad asked me when I went out there if you had already come back - and she was like yeah... 20 minutes ago." lol, I guess he missed it.
So I solved my cube and asked for the other one, my Mom left and my Dad came back with it, then he left and came back with PJ - even though there's only supposed to be one other person in there. ha. But then Dad left and Pastor Jason talked for a few minutes... He stood there waiting for my Dad to come back [which I knew wasn't going to happen, because knew he wouldn't break he rules twice 'cause there was a nurse watching him - lol] so he could pray.
Finally he gave in and prayed for me. It was kinda funny though 'cause I wasn't nervous at all. And he was like "You really aren't nervous..." and was like "Uhm, no, I already said that... would you like me to be?" and he was like "No, it's good thing not to be." lol
So the we talked for few minutes about Percussion, and Hitler, and Erno Rubik, and Vicodin and Opiods and Opyum and the Talaban.
Then he said something about my random mood....
Then my Mom came back - with the Anesthesiologist.
So he said "I'm going to give some medicine to relax you" and I was like ok... and I was asking the guy some questions... first name [Chuck] last name [Teague] and about the time I got to middle name, the medicine kicked in. Worst pain I've ever felt in my whole life. I got really dizzy and the room was spinning, my throat got tight, and my head was pounding. No not pounding - just a straight pain. It was awful.
I remember I started crying, [which if you know me - you know i don't do that very often] and sat up and couldn't lay back because it hurt so bad.... My Mom was like what's the matter? And I could barely talk, I was like "my head... oh my head". The doc came back and gave me some more meds -but they didn't help. It hurt so bad [at some point during that whole scenario PJ left... not sure when though] I thought it was gonna explode.
So they took me back to the operating room [which was freezing]. And asked if I still had a headache. And I was like uh yeah - that would explain the tears. Gave me some more meds - didn't help. And made me get up [and i almost fell over] onto the table.
Then I had to breath some oxygen before they could put me to sleep, which I nearly choked on, I sat up coughing [which was kinda hard because they had me strapped down] and the girl smiled at me, [I was thinking - what's your problem, let me know before you try to shove some plastic thing in front of my face and maybe i wont die].
Anyway, they put an arm cuff and a finger clamp thing, and these little circular things on my chest to track my stuff.
And before I knew it I was waking up.
The nurse guy standing in front of me asked me if I wanted something to drink... and he started naming off all these things - id est coke, sprite, dr pepper, diet coke. And I managed to say Water. I had a horrible taste in my mouth though and he had a green lollipop in his mouth, so the second thing i said was "Can I have a lollipop?" and he laughed and pulled one out of his pocket - a red one.
*smile*
Then my parents came back and i got dressed [thank God].
and we left.
and went to Walmart - lol.
i got demerol AND vicodin. haha.
.peace.
