Pre op LOL why was I so crazy.

I really made my self insane for nothin'. All of my pre ops today were a breeze..... Doc calmed me down when he answered all my questions, Urodynamics went fine uncomofrtable but fine and the best news is no TVT Sling for my bladder. And my ovaries are coming out. Doc said no prob we will slap a patch on your atch. Hahaha Even the lil twit receptionist gave me a hug when I left. I told her I was sorry for being so mean she said i really wan't she had worse. Phew made me feel better. And hospital people were WONDERFUL. My rolly polly viens were nothing for the nurse. One shot @ it and I didn't even flinch. Got my 2 fleets and my douch, got my speech about no food and drinks after midnight, and was told to RELAXXXXXXXX & not to worry about pain cuz nurses get big lectures from drs for not administring pains meds when needed. Nurse said that she wsn't thrilled with women leaving hospital after 24 hrs though. she thnks 2 days is better but when ins companys are involved ..... won't get into that conversation it took longer then the preop. LOL. Needless to say she wasn't at all plsed. But am ready to go......
(((((Hugs to all))))))))

Hi, Kim,

I'm glad your preop went so well. Really, as we keep telling the ladies-in-waiting, the waiting and worrying IS the worst part.

Good luck with your surgery, and let us know how you're doing, when you can.

Best wishes,

Hey Kim!

You sound so much better. I'm glad everything went smoothly, and that you're feeling better about things.

I'm so glad your preop went so smooth, I think we were all a bit worried about you :-)
Good luck on an uneventful castle visit and a speedy recovery!

It makes me feel wonderful knowing youa re all here cheering me on. I just had a wonderful dinenr with DH and we are going to relax and kick back. He thinks he needs to "Drain the Horse" one last time. I forgot to ask the doc is it ok? Don't see why it wouldn't be? But not sure.

hi!! i am glad that you feel ready to go,now. waiting IS the hardest part,and when you work,and have things to clear away,and days that have to get used up before taking disability leave,that can stress you out all the more!!! i had to donate a pint of blood for my surgery,just in case i'd need it(of course,i didn't),and because i was stressed beyond mental endurance,i had a mild tightness in the chest,so it took awhile before i could get the all-clear to donate,per my physician's letter to the American Red Cross!!!!! it's something that has to be addressed by the primary physician,since the A R C would not allow me to donate blood in the presence of even mild,unchecked chest tightness. i didn't even take any medication to relieve stress. i just had to "think it gone",before i could donate,and the donation procedure went without a hitch,thank god. are you self-donating blood for your surgery? i had 2 months of iron therapy prior to surgery,beyond the donation point. not that i am anemic,but it's just to safeguard my blood supply and my doctor thought it a good idea. well,good luck to you!!! you'll be fine. the waiting,and the post-op gas,are the hardest to deal with!!!!!

Yay, Kim! So glad the pre-op went well for you. The things we put ourselves through...the reality is almost never as bad as our imaginations, right???

Relax, hang out, keep breathing, and soon you will be DONE with all this!!!!

We're all here, ing you on!!!
