I think surgery went well
Mar. 15th, 2019 07:44 amMy appointment paper said to be at the reception area at 07:20. However, Josie isn't used to driving in the snow, and only picked up the rental car yesterday, so we left the house early. This we were at the door 06:50, but, of course, they don't open that early. So we sood and waited and a minute or two later SvartulvR arrived to het ready for his surgeries he is doing for the day. He was surprised to see me, since he was pretty certain that he would have known if I was one of his patients of the day, but I explained that I was here to be rid of my breasts, not get my ears fixed.
So he let us into the ear-nose waiting roo, which is right next to the day surgery waiting room. After a bit a nurse came by and usshered us back out as we were in the wrong place. I explained that Vi visste det, men Anton öppnade dörren för oss . But we returned to waiting outside the correct door, with a handfull of other people who had arrived in the meantime.
Then day surgery reception opened the door, and soon it was my turn. My total fee for the day surgery was 200 SEK (around €20). I love living in Sweden! Then they gave me my hospital gown socks and underpants, and, after I had changed, I had a meeting with the surgeon.I confirmed that the plsn was to take the full breast amd nipples too, and then he drew lines as guids for cutting and matching the seam after. As one who had done a bit of fiting I could tell from the pattern that he knew what he was doing.
Then they put me on a bed to wait my turn. A cute nurse named Urban came to give me a handful of pills. He told me what they were, but I forgot the list. One was morphine though.
I told Josie that when Dad was on morphine for his cancer pain that he got really talkactive, but that I doubted anyone would notice if it does that to me. Urban had planed to put an IV in my foot, well out of the surgeon's way. However, my foot veins looked too small, so he filled a glove with warm water and tucked it into my sock to see if the warmth helped make the veins bigger and easier to stick.
However, before that had time to work to was my turn to go to the operating room, where they decided that they may as well put the IV into my hand instead. They did, and that is the last thing I remember till I woke up in the recovery room around 11:30.
I will try to type up the rest later, but now I want breakfast...
