The Day of Surgery...
30 March 2005,
0800 on the way to hospital
0815 in waiting room of outpatient surgerical clinic
0830 in surgical green room(for lack of anything better to call it) change into hospital gown. sit on bed./gurney.
0900 Tanis enters room stay's with me.
0915 nurses enter room with IV and the dreaded needle, Tanis puts wrist into wristlock, I tell one nurse to hold my crossed legs at knees so I don't Kick out. Male nurse grabs My left hand while the last nurse inserts needle into my left Arm. I black out I try to kick out nurse holding legs presses harder down. tanis puts the pressure on my right wrist as I am blindly trying to get needle. Male nurse realizes maybe he shouldn't have grabbed my left hand, the last nurse inserting the needle tells me to relax and tries to pull the needle out. I relax enough to get needle out of left arm she tells everyone it's in everyone keeps asking If I am ok,"get out" I whisper, Male nurse Makes the statement "right got ya" and exits the room holding his hand (I think) the other nurses are trying to get me to sign a paper, I am ready to attack the person who stuck me. Tanis told them to give me time to cool off, they do.
1000 nurse enters room and has me sign papers Tanis still with me
1045 some one else enters room and I sign more papers. Tanis still with me
1200 nurse enters and puts something into tube and tanis is sent to waiting room.And the I am wheeled into the operating room.
1205 mask placed over face and I am told to Breath Deep. My usual nightmares start.
1400 I wake up with a jolt, the last part of my nightmare I was stabbed with a bayonet, the stabbing pain was the area that they operated on. The nurses observing me were talking , "when he wakes up he won't remember a thing" I said to them " I remember tha last words spoken were 'take a deep breath' and the last thing I remember was my nightmare I usually have when I am unconscious."
They ask me if I am in pain, these are collage graduates, right? "YES"
"on a scale of one to ten how does it feel"she asked. I responded "I feel like I was stabbed with a bayonet in my stomache, so how does that rate on your fucking scale?"
"I'll get the morphine." The nurse said.
"water, now" a male nurse turned and went to get me a cup of ice.
1445 I was returned to another sugical green room to wait until I could piss. they bring me some coke I drink some after a nurse step out room I feel the urge to barf, I hit the light of nurse summoning. As nurse returns as I shoot out a projectile stream of partially digested coke all over my self and and the end of the gurney.
1515 I hit the light of nurse summoning again, and have her take me to toilet, I turn on sink, and let the soothing sound of running water encourage my body to let loose. the yellow waterfall ends an I return to the surgical greenroom to await Tanis who assists me dressing to go home.
1620 tanis goes to pharmacy to get vicodin clone, to ease the stabbing pain that is in my groinal area. The nurse returns with more paper work so I can be further annoyed. I respond with another stream projectile partially digested water that hits her and Tanis.
1730 leaving hospital and returning home spent most of time trying to rest. taken 1 vicodin clone but pain persists.
2230 take two vicoden clones pain decides to take a nap until I have to go to the bathroom, God Fucking ouch. Just the pain alone is enough to rethink the eating and digesting food thing.
that is how yesterday went. Now all I have to do wait for the next 6 weeks for phase 2 of my hernia, the left side.
