Monday January 9

After spending a relaxing weekend and watching an amazing win by the Denver Broncos; I worke up at 4:25 am on Monday morning. I took a shower and quickly dressed and packed up my weekend bag.

We arrived at the hospital at 5:30 checked in and waited. After paying my copay we were shuttled to the hospital area and waited. I was quickly called in and needed to provide a urine sample but couldn't so I changed into my nightgown.

As they checked my vitals I had a slight temp and rechecked again on both ears and I still had a very low temp that the doctor would be told about when she came in.

The doctor checked in and it was all good she asked how I felt and I said fine so we got the clearence. Then I had to wait for my anesthesiologist. As I laid there waiting I heard Dr. Jamieson introduce himself to the lady in the area next to me..yes I dodged that bullet. Earlier in the weekend a friend had asked if he was going to be my anaesthesiologist..I didn't know and the last thing I wanted was someones family member that I knew from church. Eventually Dr. Lee came in and introduced himself he was funny.

I then got rolled in to the Operating Room it was not what I expected but very big and bright. I don't recall much other than I fell asleep quickly. I woke up and looked around and I was in an area where there was many rooms. I then heard them tell me they were rolling me to my room.

I arrived at my room and I was bed A so I had a roommate.

My roomate was kind of noisy and loud with a potty mouth. I learned she had recently been released from jail. Apparently she was caught shoplifting with her boyfriend that she is in love with and would not give his name up so she served some time. Now that she is out she is back with her babies father because she has been clean for a month and needs to stay clean and her boyfriend just doesn't want that. She was in for a UTI and kidney stones.

I was out of it but annoyed enough but kept falling asleep due to the pain killers.

When I woke up at 3:30 I got up on my own and took a little walk. The nurse was pulling my IV pole so I kept trying to keep up with her. When she said I was walking good and fast I told her she had the pole and I didn't want the IV to be pulled. It was funny and she apologized. So back to bed I went and fell asleep.

When I woke up later Jodie was there and we chatted. A little bit later Debbie and Lisa arived. During the nurse shift change my nurse heard my potty mouth roommate drop the F bomb like every other word and excused herself. Lisa heard and asked if I was ok and did I want to be changed. I said yes I had been trying to figure out how to get a room change without creating a fuss. She caught my nurse Jennifer on her way and Jennifer was already in the process of changing my rooms.

Once I was settled in my room my friends left. I had a peaceful night.
