Post OP

Well let me caught you guys up. I had surgery 2 days ago . Okay I’ll start from when I landed in the Dominican Republic till now.

August 31 10:10am land at Las Americas airport in Santo Domingo, DR

10:38 in the car on my way to the hospital (thats right straight from plan to hospital no pit stops no ice cream)

11:04 at the hospital getting checked in a wave of fear, terror and WTF comes over me.

11:09 I begin all the pre op test to see if they can even perfrom the surgery I cling to my mother as though I am 2 years old and I have my father running around speaking to everyone. Yes that’s right I had my parents by my side and my sisters bo0o0o0 to those who can not see when they need their parents.

1:12 pm all my blood work is done now im in my room sending my parents out to get my last meal.

2:00 they return with something I didn’t really want but who am I to complain

2:30 Nap

5:30 I am woken up to take a breath test

9:00pm end of visiting hours I have my youngest sister stay with me in the hospital to be my nurse and in case anything happens to me she’ll have to be the one to let everyone know , I can’t believe I put such a task on a 19 year old girl but she accepted and then told me to shut up.

September 1

4:30am I am awaken to breath in this cloudy air to relax my lungs before surgery

5:00am I’m off to surgery time

5:30 I’m on the table my last thoughts before going under is everything is going to be ok everything is going to be ok everything is going to be okay

10:11am I wake up in ICU and Im back to sleep

the next 10 hours are a fog of me in and out of sleep and pain

8:oopm I am finally told I can go to my private room and see my family

9:00pm visiting hours are over again and again I have a sister stay with me but this time my 23 year old sister to make sure I have some one to help me pee

September 2

I basically am in and out of sleep and walking around.

2:00pm I am released to my family and I sleep some more.

September 3

I’m up and about taking my medinices and drinking my protioned water and juice and taaadaaa I’m blogging.

Sorry this isn’t the most profound blog of post opness but I’m still getting my head together and I just wanted you guys to know I was okay. MUAH
