I arrived at 8 am, they finally got started at 10am. Before getting started, I was given a gown to slip into after stripping and, while backside fcing closedoor, I was still putting the gown on-and the back was fully exposed. Someone opeed the door not knoking and, just as the door opened- few interns just hapened to be walking by and are probably contemplating a career choice change. I didnt think that was funny at th time but, cn laugh now.
Im doing this read before leaving to ake more pain killrs.
Anyway, I got into the OR, my hea ha to be cmpletely shaved so now--I kid of look like Curly from the Three Stooges.
Once shaved, hey had to give me several locals. I now have 12 screws in my head ad my head feels like its in a vicegrip. It sounded like I was at Pep Boys getting the car tires changed.
While in the OR--this entire first of three ops--took maybe 20 minutes. A funny was--I happened to be talking to the doctor and another--who are gun nuts. I was alf joking when I sked the Dr when will I be allowed to go shooting? He said not for at least a few weeks. Then he said that he too loved shooting and we discussed where we liked shooting and such. The converstion somehow trned to the topic of Clint Eastwood and American Sniper.
Out of the 12 people in that OR--and no offense to any liberals--all were Conservatives. The dr asked if I had any concerns? I said no and HE--was the oe who reassured me that I wuld not turn into an anti-gunner.
Anyway, ths operation was just te begnning. I have 12 screws-or rivets in my skull. Thee pain is more like an annoying headache because o the pressure. So now, I have to take soe pain-killer whose name I cant spell-but is as good as loritab or morphine. Taking the med makes me off-balance a bit and I just woke from aout a 2 hr nap befoe sgning on here
Tomorrows operation will be at 1pm. This is where I get cracked into n some wires and such get implanted. This op is sposeed t take abot 2 or so hours. I dont kow how long ill be out? but will try getting back here sometime on Wed.
For a inal bit tonight, I had to go get my prescripions at Wm. I walked into the pharmacy etrance--a policeman was standing there talking to a little kid. Now--just imagine someone walking into a stoe looking like a swamee--as my head has white bndages wraped ll over it. The by looked at my bandages and I grinned and tld him that i still trying to get out of th egg. The policeman laughed and I went about my business--while stuggling to keep steady on my feet.
One of the best things that hapened today--I had two enciladas wth rice and beans.
Ill give you more info tomorrow if possible?
