Tonsilectomy
So, as you could probably tell by the name of this blog I had my tonsils removed today. I honestly don't know how it went, as I was unconscious the whole time. This was my first time being put under for any procedure. Even last year when I had my wisdom teeth out they just filled my gums up with so much lidocane that I couldn't move my lips right for a week. But today was different. As I was waiting for my surgery to begin, all pimped out in my gown and slipper socks, I suddenly realized how convienent it would be for all parties involved if you posted information on huge white boards over the beds, cause I can't even count how many doctors came over to check on me thinking that I was someone else. One even asked if I was having a hysterectomy. Well, after waiting for a couple of hours in the surgery prep room they decided that it was my turn to get drugged. So the anesthesiologist came over and gave me some vectrin? vectin? velcro?, I can't remember what it was but it was awesome. It was the sedative that give before the shit that knocks you out. Anyways, So I'm in the OR and they're getting me situated and they throw the mask on me and tell me to count back from ten. I don't how far I got, cause the last thing I remember before waking up was "alright, go ahead and count backwards from te...." So, YES WORLD, I can't handle my drugs. But, I have to say that I'm on percocet right now, I plan to stay on percocet until I develop a dependency on it and have to go to rehab with britney spears. Maybe we could make sweet, sweet love. I've definitely had worse. Good news is that I can already tell a difference in my breathing. I can actually take a deep breath without forcing it through my throat. I was going to try to make this funny somehow, but I'm not succeeding at the moment. *note to self* don't attempt to be witty when you're on prescription drugs for something you actually need them for.
