Ok so here was how it went now that i'm more awake and can type comprehendable sentences (somewhat).
In the surgery room the anesthetic had a hell og a time trying to find my veins to get the iv in. it took him 4 tries before getting one! Although after the first attempt (twice in the same spot though) i started ranting about how i hated needles regardless of the fct that i had gotten many throughout my life and i guess i must've annoyed them cause next thing i know the nurse was like here, have some laughing gas! and stuck the mask on my face. whoooo was tht a trip! i weas still very much concious so every time he tried a new spot i slurred/mumbled something along the lines of "What the hell? just jab it in and be done with it already!" Finally he got a vein and they told me it was time to sleep so they turned up the gas and i stayed awake! I was quite dopey and giggly but still awake. So they turned it up a bit more and they thought i was out cause i closed my eyes but when they started wheeling the bed into position my eyes flew open and i was like "where are we going???? to the moon?" (i have no recollection of this, they told me after). So they upped the gas even more and finally i was out! They called me "The Appaloosa" after that! LOL (for those who don't know, an appaloosa is a breed of horse and they're very tough. they're notorious for being very difficult to put under). After the surgery I kept poking my chin (and still am) cause it feels funny being frozen. My mouth was stuffed with gauze (and stil is) so talking was difficult but i managed with hmmmm and such to keep something of a conversation with the patient next to me. I THINK her name is Tina but i'm not sure...
Back at home my daddy went off to get the Tylenol 3 for me but got distracted at my uncle's place so I was sitting at home in pain wondering where he was and when he finally showed up I grabbed the pills and popped one immediately knocking me out for 2hrs.
BTW I'd like to appologize early if I say something vulgor or offensive I don't mean to at all but hey, Tylenol 3 brings out the best in us eh? LOL
Here's a beautiful picture of what I look like right now. The gauze for the bleeding and drooling (yummy), the ice pads to keep the swelling down, and the multiple band-aids from the anesthetic trying to find a vein. You can even see one of the bruises from the IV needle on my upper arm!
