Today I had the port surgery. Everything went well. After getting brought back to a room they asked for a urine sample. Only thing is they also told me not to eat or drink after midnight before the procedure so needless to say they didn't get any peepee from me. They said it wasn't a big deal because they'd also be taking blood. Yay. I had to change into a very beautiful and stylish hospital gown that left a nice big opening for my butt to be free, I was able to watch The Price Is Right while I waited to be brought back.
They brought me back to another room where they cleaned the procedure area with some cold ass soap. I waited more. Finally I was brought back to the procedure room with the x-ray machine. They washed me 2 more times with cold ass soaps which made me really cold in an already cold room. They covered me head to toe in a paper sheet and when I say head to toe I mean they actually covered my head so I couldn't see anything. They must have given me medicine at this point because I got a little sleepy. After numbing my skin they started the 20 minute procedure. It was pretty uncomfortable at times because I could feel the pressure of them moving things under my skin. After it was over I was REALLY cold and they covered me in blankets.
I was brought back to the recovery room where they basically turned me in to a blanket burrito. They gave me some tylenol with oxy which did absolutely nothing to help with me major discomfort I was now feeling. I got really nauseous when I stood up to get in the wheelchair probably from the dehydration and medicine on a empty stomach. As soon as I got home I took an nap and woke up about an hour ago. I'm really sore. It hurts to move, it hurts to eat, it even hurts to breathe. I'm hoping the recovery time is fast especially since I might be getting surgery on Friday.
Peace. Love. Fuck cancer
