Hernia and Gallbladder Surgery Oh My

Since I have nothing better to do with myself for the next month I will blog about my surgery. Just in case it helps others.
My surgery was Wednesday (today is Friday) I was a little nervous since I hadn't had any operations since my oldest was born 30 years ago. You wait in the little waiting room until they call your name. then they take all your vitals. Then they lead me into another room where the nurse was making sure she had the list of all my allergies. Funny I had forgot some and I guess its important because there can be derivatives of these in medications and so on. So once that was done she gave me my gowns and slippers and told me to change. Once changed I sat in another waiting room with my hubby and oldest daughter until it was my turn. I was actually kind of excited cause the thoughts of not having this Gallbladder anymore was AWESOME !! They hernia was a surprise the Dr told me I had one when I went for my first appointment WEEEE !!
Next I sat in a chair in a cubby. It reminded me of going to the office in school. Then the anaesthesiologist came and went over my allergies again and checked out my veins (I have good veins). after a few questions the nurse came and led me to the operating room. Pretty much how I remember it. Bright white and clean with Great Big Lights. They bundled me up in nice warm blankets. I had both my arms out to the sides. One for blood pressure the other for anesthesia. The anesthesia Dr said ok Allison your going to go to sleep now. I could hear my rate pick up, the nurse assured me it would be ok and then I woke up in recovery LOL

I expected to wake up in all kinds of pain but really I was just kind of sore. I remember saying to the nurse how comfortable the bed was. She said oh you Must be Tired LOL.

All in all it was a pleasant experience if you can say that about a operation. I have a bandage over my belly button one under my right boob and 2 more down my right side.
