Surgery

So it was time to go into pre surgery. I got taken into a small room where I got to get changed into the beautiful hospital gown. The nurse brought me in to get and IV put into my arm then I had to wait in a small room with my mom and Dad. Leanne, Logan and Grandma would be coming a little later. The nurse got me a warm blanket and I had to wait for what seemed like forever (probably only like 1/2 an hour) before they came in and I had to climb onto the bed. My parents were allowed to follow me to the doors then I had to say goodbye. I was so scared, I didn't know what to expect. I had never had surgery before and I was going in all by myself. Up until now I had my mom with every step of the way. I got wheeled into a waiting area where there were several other people on beds awaiting their surgery. My stomach was turning and a million thoughts were running through my head. At this point I thought I was going to throw up. Then the anesthesiologist came and asked me a few questions then I was wheeled into my surgery room.
Now this had to have been the scariest part of the whole experience. It was exactly how it was pictured in the movies. Teams of doctors and nurses EVERYWHERE! First I had the anesthesiologist team working on setting up things. Because they were going in through my nose I had the Ear, nose and throat specialists in another corner. They were going to break my nose and cut through my sinus bone to allow the nuerosurgeon access to where the tumor was located. I also had the neurosurgeon and his team preparing in another part of the room. There seemed to be doctors and nurses all over. There was a huge, very bright light shining in my face. The next thing I remember is that they were strapping my arms down to the table... not good for someone who is extremely claustrophobic!! Then out of nowhere Ryan appeared! He had gone to another hospital to carry on with his practicum but he had come back to see me through my surgery!! I was so happy. The next thing I remember is that they put a mask over my face... I felt like I was choking... it had to have been the scariest feeling in the world! The last thing I remember seeing was that huge bright light........
