Surgery went well. My surgeon said that it went much better than he expected. He didn’t have to tighten the bands or anything, he only had to loosen this band a tiny bit. My fibromyalgia is really mad about the surgery though. My whole body is in so much pain. When I came to, I was almost screaming in pain. They had to keep giving me pain medicine. I got really upset while there though. After the nurse took my blood pressure with an automatic blood pressure cuff (those really hurt me — they had no manual ones!), she then inserted my IV at the same place. I was crying a lot because the needle just hurt so much. The nurse then told me that “you have a long life ahead of you and you better get your emotions and pain under control, especially if you want to have children.” … I was furious. How dare she? She knew that I have fibro too!<\/p>\n
Before the surgery was so nerve wracking. My family was there for me, which really meant a lot. I know that they didn’t have to be there, so it meant so much to me that they were. Kolton called off work to make sure he could be there. I felt bad, but I really appreciated it. I brought my stuffed animal, Francois. The nurse kept making comments, but I don’t care. I honestly could care less that I’m 20, I’m glad that I have enough confidence to bring things with me if I’m going to need them.<\/p>\n
After the surgery was okay.\u00a0 Kolton stayed at the house for quite a while and helped me and kept me company. I’m not feeling well at all… I’m so drained… I can take my sleep medicine tonight in just under an hour, thank god.<\/p>\n
