Well That Was Fun

Yesterday was my surgery. Dad and I arrived at Kaiser at 9:15am, and my surgery was scheduled for 10:50am. Shockingly, it actually started almost on time (I was wheeled into OR2 at 10:52). The surgery itself lasted about an hour and I was wheeled into recovery around noon. All of the doctors/nurses were really nice, though I was worried about my IV. I could hear the nurse repeatedly sticking the woman in the bed next to me, and not be able to get the IV started. Luckily, she didn't hurt me too bad and got my IV started in one go. I don't know why I'm surprised, but my hand is still sore today. In other news, I was surprised by how little my leg hurt yesterday. I now realize that was because the local anesthesia lasted through most of the day until last night. Today it hurts. Pretty bad. Though it fluctuates as to the level of pain throughout the day. I did get vicodin, but I'm trying to use it as little as possible, which may be stupid, but oh well. Tomorrow I get to take the outer bandage off and take a shower. Part of me doesn't want to take the bandage off because I'm slightly scared to see the wound. I think I'm just going to have to suck it up so I can clean it though, so tomorrow I get to see it whether I want to or not. Fingers crossed it doesn't look too terribly bad.
