- Chick Flicks: Juno, 27 Dresses and the Wizard of Oz (to start)
- Chocolate: My favorite Reese's Big Cups and some Hershey's Bliss
- Good Food: Didn't think I'd have much of an appetite, but I sure do! So yesterday MIL brought me my favorite, Olive Garden Minestrone soup and Chicken Parmesan. Yum!
- Comfy Bed: There is no bed as comfy as my big huge bed full of the stuff that I love! (Except for my puppies who are at MIL's house till tomorrow.)
- Computer: Can't survive without my computer. Plus it allows me to keep up on the millions of emails that I get at work. That way when I get back I won't be overwhelmed.
- Oprah: You can see that she's on in the background. I intentionally left 5 or 6 left unseen on the DVR so I would have plenty to catch up on.
- John & Kate + 8: 'Nuff said.
- Grey's: Didn't get to watch it last night in my anesthised state.
- Ugly Betty: Actually, I have 2 episodes to watch. Eee!
- A Good Book: I'm starting 19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult. Don't know if it's good yet but I can't imagine that it won't be.
- A caring hubby: He's waiting on me hand and foot. It's pretty sweet.
- Lots of drugs: Vicodin is my friend.
As for the surgery itself, I would say that the hardest part was the wait. I had to be there at 10:30, but as is always the case when J is involved, we were 30 minutes early. (To his credit, we have a 45 minute-1hour drive and you never know about traffic on the interstate.) So we get there at 10, get checked in and they actually come pretty quickly to take me back. After trying on one arm to get the IV in, she tried my hand on the same side. No luck. So she moved to the other arm and finally got the sucker in. So once she got that in, I signed some papers and she brought Josh back. We got to relax for about 2 hours and I watched some Little People, Big World as J read. I guess there are worse ways to spend 2 hours.
Then the RE came in and went over some stuff, as did the anesthesiologist. Finally, it was time to wheel back. There was another girl in with my same last name and she was having IVF at the same time, so they asked me like a million times what my name and DOB were. They got me moved onto the operating table and he started the drugs and I was out pretty quick. I love that part! Next thing I remember is quite a bit of pain and I was in recovery and the nurse got me some more meds for the pain. Then I slowly woke up and had to pee. They got J while I was in the bathroom and then I just waited a little more. They made me eat some crackers and he went to get the car and I got in the wheelchair after she gave me some nausea medicine. Yeah. That didn't help. The guy starts wheeling me and OOPS! I throw up. Tons of water and crackers. So he gets me another tub and I throw up some more. Then nurse brings a trash can and I throw up some more. All over my cute and comfy pants. Finally get done with all that and feel MUCH better. J missed all the action! So I pass out for the entire car ride home and slept for a few hours and then ate a little dinner and dozed in and out all night.
Sweet hubby has watched both Juno and 27 dresses with me. Wizard of Oz is on the list for later tonight. He's been so attentive, I just love it. What else could a girl really ask for? I can't wait until he is like this over the fact that I'm pregnant. He's going to be so awesome. All in all, this hasn't been nearly as bad of a process as I had built it up to be in my head. I haven't ever had even a broken bone, let alone a full blown surgery, so I was a little scared. But things are good. I'm not loving the 3 inches of the balloon sticking out of my hoo-ha, but if that's the worst thing then I think I'll live. A few stitches in my belly button which bled a lot last night, but that seems to be fine today.
I hope all is well with everyone else. There seem to be thousands of BFPs lately! Hopefully that can be kept up!!
