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!
