surgery pictures

I was "cleaning" out my phone today, and I found all the pictures that the Boy took of me before and after my surgery last month. They're actually quite funny, and he gave me the play-by-play to share. (It's all really fuzzy, so I don't remember a lot.)

Me, after getting settled, IV catheter inserted and waiting for pre-meds. Terrified. And I look like crap...but I didn't get any sleep and this picture was taken at 6 AM. Who looks good at 6 am? If you do, you have no life.


Right after they administered my (first) dose of Versed. Waiting for me to drift off to sleep.

Aaand, after the pre-meds settled in, apparently sleep wasn't coming. Ever.


I don't remember making this face, but the Boy found it funny to take a picture of. Brat.

Apparently, something Boy did or said was really, really funny....

Like, hilarious.

And THAT'S when the doctor ordered another dose of pre-meds, because the first dose wasn't making me sleepy...it just made me giggle.

In recovery after surgery, a whopping 30 minutes later. Casey said that he threatened to take away my ice chips, and this is the reaction he got. Apparently I was chanting, "My precious...myyyy preeeecious" I have NEVER seen those movies, so I don't know where my drug-addled brain came up with that one. (disclaimer: I am not actually AS chubby as this picture makes me look. I was actually wrapped in several blankets, because Casey said I kept whining to the nurse that I was cold. And I was in that weir chair that makes you sit halfway up, but semi-reclining. It's weird.)
