ADK you did it! woot! woot! Now you need to find Mr. ADK a CD of the musical Camelot with the song, "How to Handle a Woman". The best advice for newlywed grooms. Settle in if you want to hear a comedy about a hospital. If you haven't been following along the convoluted tale, feel free to skip this post. I got there at 6:30 for a 7:00 arrival time (driving in cities phobia) after listening to my ride talk about herself the whole hour down. I got johnied up and read a mag. A hot Latino guy comes to take me to get wired (wait for it*). He gives new meaning to "whisked" me to my destination in my wheelchair. I found out later he's called Speedy Gonzales by the staff. *They had to put a wire guided by ultrasound to the metal marker the MRI dr. put in me. Well the doctor doing that got extremely confused about the sequence of my trip. (MRI found something, ultrasound couldn't find it, surgery, MRI biopsy, pathology says more cancer). They whip out all the many X-rays and they are wet! The wheelchair had been left out in the rain, got water in the back pocket where they put them on the way down. They spent 15 min. drying them out all over the room. Surgery calls down looking for me and they haven't even started! I'm just lying there on a gurney waiting. They do an ultrasound to find the marker - can't find it, but have no problem finding the cancer!!!! (that couldn't be found by ultrasound before). Put the wire in to it... there is a foot of wire hanging out like an antenna so I pretend to dial my nips and ask what station they want to listen to. I have the same techie I had last time when they put dye in with 5 shots around the nips and 2 people obvserving and we were cracking each other up so bad I hardly noticed. When the Dr. told me this time the wire would be like Angel Hair I asked if I could throw it against the wall when I was done. *crickets* I had to explain about testing pasta... nevermind. They taped down the wire and sent me into mammo to be sure and tell me after those results that the marker has migrated away from the cancer. Good job on that! Meanwhile surgery has called 5 times. I finally get up there and warn them about my nonexistant veins in my left arm. They try unsuccessfully (again) 3 times and finally my doctor just tells them to go ahead and do my right arm where I have a very successful blood donation vein (O-). The anesthesia Dr. comes in and asks what kind of anesthesia he's giving me. Hello? Isn't that your job? He runs off to ask the Dr. - I'm to be awake. Good. So I get to see the inside of the operating room this time and they start and suddenly I say, "I can feel that" and next thing I know, I'm dreaming about Jewelsy. I come in and out and every time I say, "I can feel that" I'm out again. Next thing I know I'm sewn up and they're waiting for the radiology report to say they got it all and they did so I go to recovery where the nurse FREAKS that they put the IV on the operating side (it just isn't done). I am amazingly alert and hungry and ask her to call my friend. They can't get through to her cell phone. (I obsessively grilled her about staying out of no service zones). I get some apple juice, read a mag. No pain, no disorientation. I'm allowed to get dressed and go to the bathroom. Still no friend. She finally calls to see what my progress is and is told I've been waiting, so she zooms over. She wants to go out for a late lunch on the way home and though I'm not supposed to eat solid food, I'm starving, so I go and have a light lunch, sleep on the way home, and here I am. My daughter made me a light dinner of zucchini and parmesian, I've struggled with the computer. After my brief note here, lightning was striking all around and it wasn't shutting down. I *gasp* had to unplug it - in the nick of time. The next bolt took out my tv and vcr. Thank you for letting me get all that off my chest. Wacky day! They never got my pre-testing in. ha. It was expired by 3 days from my last time.
And I thought my day was something. Gutmutter so glad you're home. keep us posted as you see fit. We are all thinking of you.
