I was starving and already hooked up to my IV but I turned on the TV which really is a good distraction for me. Then the antheliolgist came in right around 1. He was funny. He said he was going to put some tube in my throat but not a breathing tube. Which I was glad about. Then the surgeon came and he said it would be pretty simple and fast. He marked on me with a marker with what he was going to do. Then I was brought back almost immediately. They didn’t give me the sedating stuff they did at my last surgery. So I was totally aware when they were getting me ready. Then the antheostlolgist came in and said “imagine yourself going on a nice vacation and I’ll try getting you there.” I was asleep in 10 seconds. I woke up an hour later in surgery recovery. The surgery was only about half an hour. The last surgery I was immediately aware when they woke me up and I could hear my surgeon talking to me. But this time a nurse woke me up and I was in some type of heating tent. I was in the hospital for another 1.5 hours and now I’m back at my hotel. I took a narcotic so I feel pretty loopy. I’m bleeding a bit and I’m trying not to worry about it. I hope I didn’t scare the people getting off the elevator because of how wobbly I was and with my medical bracelets on and blood on my shirt.

But right now the pain is ok. My follow up appointment is tele health next week and I can’t shower for 4 days. In 90 degree heat. But yeah it went fine and the hospital was nice. I had my own room and my mom was able to hang out there the whole time instead of in the waiting room.

I’m just super loopy right now.

That's wonderful, Md! Thanks for the update.
