surgery
In case you haven't heard. i had gallbladder surgery yesterday.
It all started 2 weeks before thanksgiving. I had the cast party for the show that i was working on friday night, saturday was closing night. I woke up saturday and was having contraction like pain, spasms, an attack, 5 mins in pain 5-10 mins out of pain, for 13 hours. i ended up missing closing night of my show, and then gettting dicked around with my paycheck (off topic) and in the er. they did a cat scan in the er. but didnt really show much.
so i went to my drs. and then sent to get an ultrasound of gallbladder. came back yes nice gallstones and the wall was inflamed and enlarged.
so i met with the surgeon(Dec. 8th), she says yes, lets take it out; i might not have another attack for days or it could be years. Well i no like pain. so that day i do the pre operation testing there in the hospital. and am scheduled for the following tuesday (Dec 16th) to have surgery.
It turns out my ekg was funny. so I now have to meet with my dr again, only they cant get me in the schedule till weds (dec 17th) after surgery. so surgery gets moved back a week (dec 23). I waited an hour for the dr to come in and tell me the spot/ shadow/ bump/ whatever it is called on my ekg may just be breast tissue, because of large boobs or breast feeding. but i need to schedule a stress test anyway. of course by the time i get out of the drs. office it is 4:02 and when i call to schedule the test the office is closed. very pissed at this point.
so thursday i call while driving to training for new job at hr block (yes that is the rush for the surrgery i start working jan 2nd. and am in paid training now, and dont want to take time off of work, but want some recovery time before going to work) and luckly I can do the stress test the next day (friday Dec 19th).
Stress test is fine-get injected with stuff- wait half hour-take pictures-ekg-walk on treadmill 20 mins while attacked to ekg- more pictures- go home. no breastfeeding for 24 hours pisses of baby but only bad thing.
and now I wait and hope that. a)nothing is wrong with my heart. b) dr gets results in time and sends to surgeon in time so that. c) surgery doesn't need pushed back again.
saturday was wayne's 31st birthday so that helped pass some time at the meadows for dinner and gambling.
Sunday is spent getting last minute things for x-mas together.
Monday morning i have training, and waiting to hear from dr.
finally around 2pm the hospital called and said that surgery was a go. i had to be at st. clair at 6:30 am. Blah! but it is out patient so wont be an allll day thing. right.
I finished some things around the house that needed done in prep for me to be out of it for 2 weeks. and i tried to go to bed early i did but i just couldnt. and then i woke up a bunch over night, and i was up before the alarm went off even.
so we take the baby to grandparents house to watch him and i feed him one last time so not engourged on operating table.
and get to hospital on time. and we wait. i went in to surgery about 9ish. and was out by 11am. stayed till about 3 total. then off we go.
picked up baby from my mom's house to go to SIL house so that MIL can watch baby over night. then we go to giant eagle to get drugs filled. yeah percks. baby can breastfeed he "may" just be a little tired. well i sure hope so.
so home and I tried to go lay down but i have second wind and am starving so i just keep eating crackers. went to bed 11ish and woke up a couple of times over night. i managed to get to the bathroom on my own because hubby just wouldnt wake up. He was so good to me yesterday.
So now it is x-mas eve. and i am up and hungry again. and in some pain but drugs are good umkay. And Next year I am not asking for Surgery for Christmas, Maybe a baby though.
