Only 21 more days

So I counted today and I only have 21 more days. The thing that I am most nervous about is the foley cath, lol.  I know it sounds strange but I just hate them.  I am going to beg my doctor to put in orders that when I am up and moving they remove it.  Hopefully they will.

Why are you nervous about that?  Have you ever had one?

Yeah I have had quite a few folies :(  They just make me sooo uncomfortable I do not even want to move.  Hopefully he will write orders to remove it ASAP!

Personnally I don't feel it at all.

What bothers me is to be put asleep with "Anesthesia by intravenous injection" (sorry I am not sure of the translation of this, hope you'll know what I mean), because my veins are not straight, and nobody beleives me when I tell them that I can make the liquid to stop coming in my arm, just by moving.  Now you'll tell me not to move, but I am scared that once I am put to sleep, my arm will move or be moved in the middle of the intervention and that I will suffer the pain cause I'll be awake and nobody will know!

I am crazy!  lol!!

 I understand your issue with the catheter.  I had a hysterectomy 10 years ago and when they took mine out my bladdar started spasms and then they had to put it back in and I was in pain for over an hour before they got me "good" pain meds.  So hope I don't have that issue again.  As for being put to sleep, I've not had any problems before so don't worry about that.  My biggest "silly" worry I think I've got is that they will go in to do my surgery and find out there is something wrong with me and they can't do the surgery. But, I'm sure we'll all come out just fine

I am worried about theanesthesia myself.  I have not had any trouble before, but I just feel each time is a risk.  I am also worried about the pain.  I have a lap band and they will have to remove scar tissue before doing the sleeve.  To add to this, if there is too much scar tissue, they will have to remove it and then wait several months to do the sleeve surgery. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will be ok.  I do agree about the foley. Although it is not been painful for me in  the past. I am not looking forward to it, lol.
