Question:
What's the hospital like?
i'm having abdominal surgery next week and i'm soooooo scared!!! anyone out there who's had surgery please tell me what your experience was like...good and bad, i want to be prepared.
Answers:
I was soooo scared too when i had to have surgery on my knee and i have screws in it now...anyways...don't be worried!
It was a long wait for me. Bring something to do in the waiting room, a book, ipod. that sorta thing
they make u put on hospital clothes and pee in a cup.
if ur not afraid of needles u shall be ok...if u are...its just an IV u cant even feel it. Just don't look at it
And u could ask them to put some medicine in ur IV to make u go to sleep b4 they give u general. thats what they did to me.
The wheel u into the operating room and move u on to another table. By this time i fell right asleep. All i remember is bright room and lights and people talking...and thats what i woke up to...
all i remember is falling asleep to voices and waking up to voices and i don't remember what they were saying untill i heard them say "lets go get her parents" then i was shaky from the general so they gave me water and apple juice!
I thought it would be horrible but it was not that bad and sometime in the future i hafta go get surgery again and im not worried about it at all....but it does hurt afterwards. Just stay in bed and sleep
and its not like normal sleeping...its like ur mind shuts down, and it takes a while to figure out whats going on...somewhat fun actually
any more questions just email me swimmergal24@yahoo.com
ooh i remembered they also give you warm blankets!!
