Surgery the day after

Feel much better today. Slept thru most of the night except for Chloe having a puking episode. Decided against taking the Ambien. The pain kinda comes and goes as far as the feeling of having a broken sternum. Had to go the dr. today for a follow up, everything looks good. He explained the stitches to me. I got to see my new boobs for the first time, they look really good but are very swollen and will be for a couple weeks. I found out I got about 550cc' s of saline in each one and got the moderate profile implant style. Jeff had to leave around 12 today for an anime/video game convention in West Palm Beach so I am on my own until Sun. evening. He set up my computer to the network so I have access to his collection of over 1000 movies. Plus I have some magazines and cookbooks to read. I got to talk to all the girls today at Autumn. I miss them. Slept most of the day. I am so tired, I can not stay awake long enough to watch a movie. My neck is getting really stiff from having to sleep sitting up which is getting annoying. I have to scoot around and try not to use my arms as much. How I would love to lay on my side right now.

Boob Job Day 1

Day of Surgery

5:30am
Have to be at surgery facility at 6:15. Procedure is at 8am. I don't think it has set in yet that I am
getting a boob job. Because otherwise I think I would be feeling really nervous. Maybe when I get there it will
start to sink in. But right now I am feeling good. Picked up prescriptions yesterday..Ambien, Cipro, Vicodin
and an nausea medication that they give to people getting chemo..yikes...must be some strong stuff.
I am going to be a drugged out mess.

8:30am
got prepped for surgery, Dr.PG drew the lines on my chest and explained the procedure to me. He was doing a
bilateral incision thru the areolas and under the muscle. Got my IV and didnt freak out this time.
Spoke to the nurses about the anesthesia. They administered it thru my IV and that was the last thing I remembered.
I woke up from surgery close to 10:30. Was completely out of it, started to come around and started feeling tightness
in my chest and some pain. Jeff came in to help me get dressed once all my vitals were back to normal. I started feeling
really nauseous and had to puke in a bag. finished getting dressed and was wheeled to my truck. The ride home was
pretty hard because of the pain I was in.They didnt want to give me pain meds at the surgery center because they said I
was doing so well. Every bump and stopped hurt.

11:30
Arrived home and Jeff helped me into bed. We sat and chilled until my meds took effect.I passed out while he
went to the store and get some things for snacking on and to get me an ice pack. I keep dozing off throughout the day.
7:30
My chest hurts really bad and it feels like an elephant is sitting on it.It feels like I have a broken sternum. I can only
sleep on my back which is giving me a backache even with vicodin. My breasts are swollen up to my collar bone. I just
started my icepack. I am supposed to take some Ambien to help me sleep but am a little hesitant since it is a hallucinogen.
11:00 Starting to feel a little doped out and am really tired.

Going away party

Tonite, I had my going away party and I am so happy that I have so many great friends who made it special. About 30 some people showed up for me.I am very touched. People from past jobs, elementary school and even the parents showed. I had only shed a couple of tears at Hacienda. But once I got home it is really starting to hit me that I will be leaving in two days. I am leaving my entire life behind to start a new journey. So now here I am bawling my eyes out while typing this. It's only going to get harder. Friday is going to be so hard saying bye to my mom and dad. They have always been right there or down the street for 31 years. Now it's going to be 1300 miles. I think I will be crying for the first couple hours of my trip.

2 days left of work

Oh my god, only 2 work days left and I will be done. Tonite all of my coworkers from Family Video went to South Haven for a hotel party. Their day started at 1pm..I didn't get there until 630. We went to Clementines and had some really good food but poor service. I have so much to do in the next 3 days. My mom is not dealing with this move very well. She is trying to be strong for me but I know its really hard on her. I also have to call Jeff's mom and introduce myself to her before I move. I am a little nervous about that. Anywho I am tired and ready for bed.zzzzzzzz

My First Blog

I am in the process of moving to Miami, Florida. I have a lot to do up until that time. So many little things that come to mind every day. I figure that this is a big event in my life and I should write about it.
