Okay, twas the night after . . .
Made it through here's my "tail." Did prep at noon and arrived at hospital at 2:30. They gave me a pager for when the nurse was ready for me, but it didn't go off. They took me back and reviewed everything. Took my bp, which was wlghtly elevated (hmm, I wonder why?) Then put IV in and allowed my good friend back with me. Sawr nurses one by one, then doc and finally anesthetist, he was nice, but said he'd be gone by the time I woke up . . . and he was, too.
OR nurse told me I would be positioned while asleep, don't know how that works, but there you go. Took me to OR, sarted my happy juce and gave me oxygen. Next thing I knew, they were waking me up and I was slghtly on my right side as requested with a dull ache on the left side of my WhooHah. Told'em it was about a 3-4 and they gave me a little something to help. Also gave me water and graham crackers. It was 5:40. I kunched crackers and water over the next hour, they gave me after care instructions. My fiend hae.picked up my pain meds at the pharmacy. Hadn't seen the doc yet but he had someone after me. Still in pain, so they gave me two percoset and I set my timer for the next dose. Had occasiona twinge on left eide in front (vaginal area), and nurse said that's normal. They helped me sit ip and move to chair and once I was good and steady, they cleared me to dress and go home. Laid in back seat and we stopped at cvs for mineral oil (instructed to take 3-4 tbspn 3 times daily) and was home by 7:30.
Unsteady when standing too long, so grabbed apple and water and to bed. Just took pain dose and changed pad ad I had to urinate and hoing back to bed. I have gas, but it's not ready to come out. Not looking forward to first bm, but okay right. Going back to sleep.
