I have no idea how the hell I'm so coherent in typing when ten minutes ago I couldn't even stand up and I was slumped against my bathroom door.
My surgery was scheduled for 10am this morning-- being that I didn't bring my cell phone or a watch, I have no idea when it actually started, but I do know that it was later. I got set up in The Chair and by the anesthesiologist pretty soon; the vein in my hand didn't take the IV, so they had to move it to my elbow. I remember mentioning how the latter person said it looked like it was taking (the IV), and the doctor saying could I open my mouth a bit more for the jaw pillow... and then I was gone.
When I woke up, I was woozy and had the gauze already in my mouth (guess you were right,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pockyken!), and my grandpa had to bring the car around. I don't really remember getting into it, but I do remember getting home and staring at the dining room table while I messed with some gauze after I could FINALLY eat (some cherry yogurt, not a lot- haven't eaten since then). The gauze makes me gag if I put it in small squares or in both sides. It's making me gag now, actually, so I'm going to take it out, bloody lips or no, and try to eat some eggs.
I know the gauze is there to help create the clot, but I'd rather not die of choking on a gauze. It's not like I'm spitting blood every few minutes or anything. My throat is so dry though... and my arms feel numb.
But I made it! And it doesn't hurt! Yay.
