Last Night I had the Strangest Dream....


I had a dream about being back in cadaver dissection lab and dissecting out one uterus that was intact and "normal" and another one that was pro-lapsed.

What the???

I woke up scratching my head wondering why neither of them had fibroids- hahahaha!

They say that post-op dreams are really bad and bizarre because of the anesthesia, but how can they get any more bizarre than that? Hmmmmm, I guess we'll see!

Today I will re-pack my hospital bag so that it is "overnight". I will take along an extra set of PJ's just in case I have to stay an extra day. My bag will still be heavily loaded with personal care items such as toothpaste, mouthwash, lotion, wipes, etc. because that stuff is really important to me-- I don't want to be offensive to anyone!

So- check out this picture of the davinci robot system. I am really in awe that my surgery will be happening this way. It's hard to believe that the doctor won't be near me as he does this major surgery on me! CRAZY!

GET OUT! That's the way your doc will do the surgery?! That is totally crazy! It's like a video game!

Yes!!! Isn't that crazy? So his assistant will be near me to help with positioning the arms and stuff...but he'll be in another part of the OR altogether. It really is like a video game....I'm in awe of this whole procedure...
