A girly issue

[BuFfY]

Well I rang up to book today.
Had a big talk to my associate (I love her!!) she okayed it with the school and let my lecturer know (I was suppost to be being assessed that day!).
So next Tuesday lil Buffy will be in hospital. I am lucky I have medical insurance and that it is private! Good old Southern Cross Hospital in Wairau! Not sure yet what time I go in, they are ringing me on friday to discuss everything with me.

Oh and my associate said I should def. have the wednesday off as well, and that she will just teach the lessons I have planned. Huge relief!

Thank you sooo much Crashe!! I have never been through any of this before (my first time in hospital was earlier this year when I had tonsilitis but I was only in for a few hours). Damn! people will see me with out make up!! They will be concerned because I am so pale! Poor lil Buffy!!

Oh and the day I get back to school I am assessed! Got a lecturer coming to school to watch how I handle the class and stuff. My associate said to me today to not worry at all, that I am passing with flying colours and that she would pass me now if she could!

Just another update.
I am in on Tuesday at 10.45. They said I will be in for 4 hours max so I am hoping to be home and tucked in bed by 5 that night (after mummy takes me to the supy to get all the goodies I will need/want)

A huge thanks to Crashe for popping in yesterday! Means the world to me!

I'm not freaking out or anything at the moment. I know I will be nervous in the morning, but at the moment I have other stuff to think about so I will deal with Tuesday on Tuesday!!

Crashe told me visitors wont be allowed, I am such a noob at all this! And I am fairly sure I wont be in a state to see any one that night either. I will be cracking my whip and will turn Cam into my slave for the next few days.

Will keep you up to date with the rest of it as it happens!

Yep, grab your prescriptions etc on the way home.

As to no visitors at the hospital: You are only in there to have the operation, then in the recovery room, then you are sent home.
Visitors are NOT allowed in the recovery room - with the exception of your mummy as she is taking you home. She may be allowed in, to pick you up or else she will meet you at the front door.

Yep first night at home - have no visitors as you will be very dopey still and need to rest and sleep.

Cam, will be your slave for the night - if not let me know....

All the best, you will be fine.

Hey, well yesterday went well. I arrived and everything went on time. Was such a nice hospital! I got all dressed up in my special gown, and I even got a robe to wear over top and matching slippers!!
I was under for about 45 mins they said. Everything went as planned and I was home at about 2.30
I am not in too much pain (due to 4 hourly dosage of pain killers) but I had a few stabbing pains this morning which made it obvious that I did indeed need to take the pain killers.
I have just been lying on the couch all day. I am very tired as I didn't sleep very well last night and was wide awake at 6.30 this morning wondering if I was ever going to get back to sleep!!

Yesterday I felt a bit groggy and dizzy after the general but didn't feel sick or anything.

I totally love my specialist. He made it so easy. I wasn't scared at all, or nervous so I am very very proud of myself!

Um, I think that is all I need to say...

[BuFfY]

Oh and I didn't ask for photos... don't think people would really want to see that!!

[klingon]

Yay! Congrats! Good on you!

Glad to hear it all went well and you're resting up as instructed.

[Nasty]

well done Buffy - its great when you feel well looked after ain't it

[crashe]

BuFfy - Glad it all went well mate. Now just rest up and do as your specialist instructed you to do.
Do take it easy as well. Oh and take them painkillers when needed.

Can you do me a wee favour....... Can you thank and give pyrocam a hug from me for the text yesterday just after you got home.


See it wasn't that bad now was it.......

Mind you the first time going into hospital can be scarey for some people.
But you were brave and overcome those fears. Well done.

[Curious_AJ]

yay for buffs!

i've had one op in my time in my mouth, pretty much the same deal with visitors etc.. but i was vomiting blood and felt really bad after so i was glad that no one but my mom and dad were there... and my op was at 7am... (ugh)

but yeah, for ages i couldnt talk or eat... mmm straw food... and walking made me want to vomit... i guess i'm just not god during/after anaesthetics... but luckily i got it done (after many tests).. it was a benign tumour in my mouth, yet it was eating away at my teeth inside my gums and would have eaten away the bone if they left it any longer!! not to mention i looked like a bit of a freak lol...
