Surgery Part Deux

So, time for the second round of surgeries.  I was just reading over previous posts and glad to see, I am consistent in my fear.  Good Lord.  Yeah I went through the SAME. EXACT. EMOTIONS.  last week.  I forgot I felt this way last time.  Memory is a funny thing.

So, they are gonna remove the other tube, cysts, appendix, the endo and maybe do a bowel resection.  They won't know until they dig in.  I'll probably be in for 2 nights.  I only stayed one night last time and in retrospect should have stayed an additional night.  I'm not a good invalid at home.  I can't sit still.  It's also why I can't do my own nails.  Can't sit still.  I also can't have on nail polish for the surgery.  Bummer, dude.  But I digress...

If the do the resection, that will probably keep me in for another couple days.  I have a list of stuff I'm bringing with me, since I know I will be staying this time.  Last time my hospital roommate took up for me and got me stuff like a tooth brush and stuff.  I hope I'm that lucky again she is an amazing woman.  Anywho...I was wondering if there was internet connection, so I go searching the website to find this...

"What to Leave at Home


Please leave at home your valuables such as jewelry, large sums of cash, cell phones, laptop computers, pagers or video equipment. Electronic appliances (excepting shavers and hair dryers) are not permitted in patient rooms for safety reasons."

*Blink. Blink. Blink.*

YOU. MUST. BE. SHITTING. ME.  The HELL I'm not bringing my laptop and cell phone!!!  I have movies all picked out to watch!! Humph!  We'll just see about THAT!!  Have I mentioned I'm not a good invalid?  I don't sit around well.  *sigh*

Anyway, so I have to do the "Cleanse" again... *shudder*  I'm gonna stay home this time.  Even though my check in time is 5 freaking 30 in the morning.  Surgery at 7:30 which means while Obama is swearing in, I'll be out.  Super bummer.  I'm Tivoing it, but still, it's not the same.

So, if y'all are so inclined, holla at a sista.  You can reach me HOPEFULLY on my cell or try The Man's.  He'll be with me mostly or tell you my room number or whatever.  Don't worry, if I don't feel like talking, I won't answer the phone so, don't think you're disturbing me!  LOL.  Or better yet!! Come by and bring REAL broth!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

  1. Sounds like a very farreaching procedure... and only two days in the hospital?
    Well, you did fine last time and you will do fine this time.
    Just try to be a docile invalid, ok?

  2. Nic, my prayers are with you. And yes, you will mourn your loss. It is a hard time in a woman's life but you will be alright. You are strong and you are determined... and you will find a way.
    I will pray for you as you go into surgery.... I'm up bright and early.
    Hugs to you,
    Nita
