Dang Oprah! Dang DVR! Dang Dreams!

YES....we do!!!  Bad TV, bad, bad, bad!

Micheala - you crack me up.  I love reading your posts.   As you know I am a little over 2 weeks out and had surgery with Dr. Houston too.   Everything is going to be fine.  If someone did not tell me I had a tube down my throat I would have never known.   I know the time is getting close and I was having crazy dreams too when the time got close for my surgery (not as crazy as you though )

Good Luck on Tuesday please keep us updated on your progess.

J---woo hoo...u r 5 pounds from the 3's!!! YES!  I will take comfort in knowing that Dr. H didn't kill you...lol...that is so morbid!  Thanks for letting him practice on you first.... (right back atcha!)...xo, Micheala.

 

Girl,you need a good stiff drink...of H20! I'm so jealous of you all but am hanging in there. I WILL be on the losers bench with ya'll Lord willing and the creeks don't rise! Good luck,you will be fine!

Stop eating Taco Bell before sleeping and shut the TV off! I'll die laughing if your scrub nurse looks anything like Oprah! C'ya Bob

Thanks Bob---I actually feel better about you doing the surgery than Oprah...at least you have been there! 

Hi Micheala - it sounds like you've got a lot of free-floating anxiety about this whole thing, not just about the surgery itself.

Almost NOBODY wakes up during surgery.   Honest, it's almost unheard of.   Experienced anesthesiologists and anesthetists can tell the level of somebody's consciousness, and I understand now there are monitors that can discover if something like that is going on.

The breathing tube is to breathe for you when you can't breathe for yourself.   That's only when you're DEEP under.   If you're awake enough to experience the tube, then you're awake enough to breathe for yourself.   Exceptions to this are also very rare.

Oprah operating....   well, that's something else.   I guess that woman's everwhere and if she wants to operate, I can't imagine who could stop her.   She'd just buy the hospital!   LOL    So I guess I'd narrow my worrying down to that one.

I'm kidding because I know how natural it is to worry!   I requested "I don't care juice" as soon as I hit the OR holding room, and I'd have preferred to have some for a few days beforehand, too!
