Surgery Day

Yesterday I was up at 6. I was supposed to be at the hospital by 6:30, but i know from previous experience that i can show up at 7 and still be good. I got myself all prettied up, LOL and off we went. Dan dropped me off at the door and went to park the car. I checked in and for the first time ever, there was no one else in the lobby. They called me back and just as I got around the corner, Dan called my name. The poor nurse at the desk had seen me coming and then turn around and walk back out. I think she thought I was making a run for it.

Dan had bumped into a man with a puppy in his hands. It was a Yorkie/pug mix. very cute but already bigger than a normal Yorkie.  the puppy was sweet and liked my hands. Even the receptionist had to play with the puppy.

We got in the room and once again they made me pee in a cup. I do it because I must, but I have to say: "YUCK".  Those cups are not nearly big enough.

They stuck the IV in my wrist rather than my choice of my elbow. I hate it in my hand or wrist. no one seems to understand that it doesn't hurt in my elbow. Sigh

finally it was off to the CT room. I had on my blue socks that have goldfish on them.  The techs loved them.

Then it started and I got my drugs.  I am feeling really torn. I don't want to have the surgery, but I LOVE the drugs.

They didn't put in a stint, but they did scrape the leg out again. Since July, my leg had completely re-clogged. He won't do the other leg until we can determine how quickly the leg will clog again. He had a really hard time getting the vein catheter in my leg because of all the scar tissue. next step would be a bypass. :(

Beth came to get me after a very long sleep. Love those drugs.
Spent the evening chatting w/her and Stef.  Stef and Andy came over to make dinner and to put Blacky and Angel on KSL. Crazily enough, we got a hit on Angel about an hour later. She went to a good home, and I'm not sure how i feel about it. But I'm kind of glad. I hope she's really happy.

now to hope that Blacky will get a good home. Then I can feel better. It will be just the 5 again.

well that's all for now. I am going to go back to sleep. Love those drugs.......
