The Joys of Surgery Number 1

Friday was the first of probably many surgeries that I am going to have to get on my bladder..well, if I have anything to do with it, that would be the first and the last. I am such a baby when it comes to pain, so you can imagine how well that went over on Friday. I even started off horribly! No one told me that I was going to have to pee in a cup before the surgery, so I went to the bathroom before I went back to get ready. Well, we waited at least 30-45 minutes just for me to pee in a cup! The ended up just flowing the IV fluids into my just so that I would pee. Then, they threatened to take my nail polish off because they weren't sure if they would be able to get a good heart rate reading from the acrylic being in the way. I bet you can imagine how freaked out I was over that considering my bright hot pink nails were the highlight of me being home. Recovery has been somewhat of an adventure as well. The first night was horrible as far as if I felt the need to urinate, I refused to go because I knew the pain that awaited me. The past two days I have been sore throughout my whole body. Today was a little better but my lungs are still hurting. I went to church this morning and that was my first time there since being home for Christmas break. It was so nice to see everyone, but I really don't remember a lot of it. I was so tired because I am not sleeping all that well at night. The only thing I can do is pray that God will hurry this recovery up!
