I was told to be at the Hospital by 9:45am on Tuesday to check in for surgery. So we arrived at the hospital by 9:45am and checked in for surgery. I got my wrist band with my info and i got a buzzer so I knew when it was my turn and we were waiting for my buzzer to go off so we can go in the back where I'd be prepped for surgery. Finally the buzzer went off and we followed a blue line into the back
The nurse got my weight and height and got us into a room where I'd be waiting to be prepped for surgery. I had my mom and dad with me while waiting in the room with me. I had to put a hospital gown on and put the socks on and after that I laid on the bed relaxing and waiting for my nurse to come in.
Finally my nurse came in and helped get things started and I got hooked up to the IV. My mom asked my nurse so is her surgery at 10:45am since we were told to be here at 9:45am? and here I am already in a hospital gown and i just got hooked up to the IV. My nurse says let me check on that and she said it looks like it's scheduled for 12:45pm so we were kind of mad that we showed up 3 hours early when we could of arrived at 11:45am. We couldn't very well leave the hospital at that point and suddenly I started having a reaction to the IV I was trying to throw up in the process after being hooked to an IV and it caused me to cry for a few minutes wishing this was all over with. I finally calmed down and watched TV and played on my phone. I haven't ate anything for 8 hours and I was getting so hungry but I couldn't eat anything and the IV was making me pee like crazy. I ended up not going into surgery at 12:45pm i finally went into surgery around 2:00pm and they took us upstairs to where the surgery room and waiting room was and Just before we went through the doors to the surgery room the nurse let my parents have a moment to give me well wishes and so my mom and dad did that and walked off into the hall that took them to the waiting room while I was waiting for my oral surgeon. I finally see my oral surgeon and I got to talk to him and he had me meet someone else that helped him during my surgery and I met the nurse. I never knew an IV can make you go to the bathroom so much until I was waiting to be taken into surgery. I was waiting patiently for them to finish up the other surgery and thought oh man I need to go again haha. I met my anesthesiologist Dr Summers and he took me into the surgery room and they transferred me onto the surgery table. I remember having a conversation with the anesthesiologist and he had me clean my nose out so he could put a breathing tube down my nose after that I was knocked out I didn't feel a thing and don't remember anything about my surgery or the breathing tube and I'm glad surgery is over with. :)
