pre-op

Just had my consult before the surgery.
Apparently it's not a big deal, especially in comparison to having your appendix out which is a comforting thought.

I did learn that the anaesthesiologist (seriously how do you spell that word without spell check?) had a great deal of trouble intabating me last time and I should have received a letter from the hospital about that. Really? News to me...but I have been composing a book in my mind about the horrors of hospital life so I'll just put that into the chapter "Things the hospital should have done ... but totally and completely didn't."

It was really weird getting all this preparation for surgery. The last two times it was an emergency so there was no preparation at all. This time I went to this place called patient registration. They checked my information and then they had this nice boy take me to the fourth floor for my consultation with the pre-op nurse. It was all so nice and friendly and chill. Man, I should do all of my surgeries this way.

Wednesday of next week is the big day - I will keep everyone posted but I am going in at 1030 am, surgery is at noon, and I should be released around 8 am on Thursday.

cheers.

thyroidectomy anyone?

It's happening - for real and everything.

My thyroid is coming out on April 6 at St. Boniface hospital and please please please any gods that are listening let this be my last surgery of the year - I am tough but come on!

Stay tuned for more exciting pre and post op information - I wonder if I can bring my iPod into surgery with me?

cheers

appendix free since 2011

I've gone my entire life without surgery and in the last year I have had two: one for my clavicle, and one on the 19th of February for my appendix. This is crazy - it's like everything is conspiring to make my first year in CreComm as difficult as possible - ah well, so it is.

I have one more surgery coming up in the next month or two to remove my thyroid and then I think I'd like to be done for awhile.

I am just not a good patient - I am cranky, impatient, and I hate having to depend on others to do the most basic things - the drugs are OK though.

I have noticed that all this drama has once again upset my equilibrium - I am oversensitive with everyone, impatient with imperfections, generally a bit of a mess.

Damn.

I am taking this Friday to regroup myself and get my PR project done.

Everything is going to be just fine.
