Cercloge

I am now laying in recovery, waiting for the anesthesia to wear off. I can't even wiggle my toes right now.  She just said it could be 6 hours until we can go home. Buy everything went good! We had to wait a long time in the waiting room before they finally called me back and I was starving and impatient! (I guess they were supposed to have me back at 9 so when my Obx nurse came and I wasn't there they thought I wasn't coming, they were getting ready to call us.)
When they got me back and in a pre-op room, they did an ultrasound, iv and vitals, we had to wait for the dr to show up for an hour. (He got the whole o.r behind)
It is the weirdest feeling to be wheeled around on a hospital bed, just watching the people go by. Once in the OR there was my anesthesiologist, skyridge nurse, Obx nurse, 3 surgery techs and Dr.Stettler. I got really scared before they did the spinal and starting crying. It was scary and im emotional!  First he put some stuff that burned in my iv and then did the spinal, it wasn't awful just a little uncomfortable. Then they moved my numb body around as I just stared at the ceiling. They put my legs up in stirrups, no covering everything just hanging out there!
I was completely aware and awake for the surgery which was very weird! My anesthesiologist was so great, I loved him, he explained everything I was hearing and talked to me often.  They had a drape up so I couldn't see much just hear all the weird sounds. I only felt the pressure,  it felt like they were pulling the inside of my inside bellybutton towards my whoha. It wasn't painful just very weird! Now waiting for a room,  lunch and feeling in my legs in pacu. I have to eat,  walk and pee before im out of here...
