Surgery Piece of Cake

So I have been working frantically to get my classroom ready before my surgery.  I got a lot done and am pleased with how things are looking.  Tuesday was my surgery and I was very scared.  Being 36 and never having had a real surgery to having two at once was pretty overwhelming for me.  Luckily my parents were with me every step of the way.  Pops tried to calm me down by cracking jokes while mom shushed him for being to loud in the waiting room.  Once back in the prep area, they struggled to get an IV in.  After 4 sticks and the use of an ultrasound machine to find a vein, they finally found one deep in my upper left arm.  That in, my parents came back and waited with me till surgery.  As they took me back, I assumed they already drugged me up because I don't remember anything past being wheeled away from my daddy.  The next thing I know I am waking up with a breathing mask on my face.  As I came to, they brought my parents back and I got dressed to leave.  My parents brought me home and got me all settled in.  Dad stayed with me while mom went and got me food, bandaids and other goodies.  Pops stayed with me the last two nights.  Mom stayed a bit yesterday and Jake and Pay came over and spent the afternoon with me yesterday.  I don't know what I would do without these people who love me so much.  I am very blessed.  I haven't had too much pain.  The hand has hurt the worst.  Hoping to shower and take the wraps off today.  I can't believe only one more week till I go back to work.  This summer has gone by so fast.  I am ready to start my new position this year but would love another few weeks off to recupe from my surgery.  Just want to thank all of you for the kind words and thoughts and for checkin up on me.  I love you guys!

Till next time,
Beck
