Out of hospital I go

I was sent home from the hospital the following day and was extremely tired. I was up on and off all night getting pain medication, antibiotics, and being checked on. I got myself comfortable on my sofa and didn't actually move for 3 days! I had to sleep sitting up because I was in pain when I laid down!

I did manage to get myself some more pain medication though! I was taking an extremely powerful pain killer that made my head spin! Our friends from our church group brought us over dinner a few nights becauseI couldn't move! I had to put anitbiotic cream on my incision 3 times a day which was kind of weird. I also had this weird looking random stitch sticking out of the emd of my incision!

As you can see from my hair, I was not allowed to wash my hair for 4 days! I ws living with that head band on to try to make my hair acceptable!
Looking good... Looking real good!!
My boss sent me this amazing flower arrangement that was just beautiful! It smelt soooo good and brightened up my living room!
This is my best shot!! My hair from behind!

Into hospital I go

On September 19th at 5.30am I went to Anaheim Memorial Hospital and had the right side of my thyroid gland removed. Before I was allowed to go into surgery I had to get ready. I was given a blue gown, hair net, little blue booties and the worst NET UNDIES you have ever seen... the nurse told me 'they are no Victoria's Secret but they do the job'. It was hilarious!

Jason was told to write on my neck to know which side of the gland to take!This is me all ready to go inot the O.R! I had thought of E.R in my head! Stand back, we're gonna shock her'!! I went into the O.R at 7.10am and was out for the count until about 10.45am. I was eating yummy hospital lasagne at 6pm.

I had a crazy 'drainage tube' in my neck for 1 day and it was basically as its name suggests... to allow the blood to drain! It was freaking going to the toilet thats for sure! The photos were taken on my cell phone which is why they are a bit blurry!
