This post counts as yesterday's post because I started it last night well before midnight. But I kept falling asleep without finishing. I'd type a few words, fall asleep, wake up sometime later, with my phone in my lap, type a few more words, and fall asleep again. Three or four cycles of this before I realized I'd have to wait til today.
I had surgery yesterday . This is it, the last of my breast reconstruction. My surgery was scheduled for 7:30am, which meant an arrival time of 5:30. Ugh!
It was just a blink of an eye for me, and I came out at 11:30.
It was close to 1:00 when they brought Jamie back, and it was sooo good to see him.
Funny story here: most of the surgical team came over to pre-op to introduce themselves and to gather me to go to the operating room. I had met the anesthesiologist, Dr. Valarde, earlier, and now got to meet another member of the anesthesiology team...a gentleman named Gordon. I try to remember names, so I spoke his out loud two or three times. He told me, "If you remember my name in recovery, I'll give you a medal." My nurse, Blair, told him I had remembered the anesthesiologist's name after my surgery in May. Jamie told him he better just get that medal ready. Sure enough, after surgery and even before I was fully aware (because I don't remember this at all), I acknowledged two people: Dr. Ghazi's PA, Maddie and Gordon. I do remember thanking him by name in recovery and him telling me he didn't have a medal with him.
I made it home and have mostly rested and slept. I did go out to the bucket garden to cut some parsley for Bill and Ted, and that brings us to the second thing.
I found Rufus on the parsley I cut, and he's now joined the Excellent Adventure. He's the big guy in the middle.
And who knew caterpillars could poop so much!
Well, now we all know.
If they eat allot, well they must 💩 allot!😂
