Deidra and I went to the surgical center at 7:30 am, where I got paperwork done and was prepped for surgery.
At 8:30 they knocked me out and performed the surgery.
At 9:30, I awoke (kind of) and was taken to my recuperation station, where Deidra joined me. For the next 2 hours or so, I was in and out of consciousness, while sipping water and subsequently throwing it up (only once, though). And Deidra was patiently waiting for me to get up the energy to get out of there.
At about noon, I successfully took a whiz (yes, that's really the test) and we finally got the okay for Deidra to drive me home, where I promptly fell asleep again.
Throughout it all, I am feeling actually quite well, though that's probably got something to do with being drugged. I think it also has to do with having the best home nurse I could ever hope for. Deidra has been tireless in answering my beck and call, and even knowning what I need before I have to ask for it. I keep telling her thank you and it feels so insufficient. I definitely love that girl!
I should be taking notes so that I can be half as good to her come April.
