Loop loop loop.
So, I don't know what I was thinking but I was convinced I was only going to use this thing to log my various pets and art.

That's apparently not going to happen.

I've been in and out of the doctor's for some 'womanly' pains and they haven't been able to really figure out what the problem is, or if it's even just one particular problem. I've been on antibiotics, taken estrogen in pill and cream form, and have been given a few strong painkillers. Nothing is really working, if at all.

It was decided yesterday that I needed a few things done.
None of which are too bad, but they're all going down at the same time.

I've never been in surgery before, so this is the first time in my life I'll be drugged to such an extent.
Yes, I delivered my child without the aid of painkillers. Which was a pretty retarded decision on my end.

Anyway, I'm fairly nervous. The idea of going to sleep just fine and then waking up to a gradually increasing pain does not appeal to me. I know they'll give me some strong drugs to help with that, but I'll still phisically feel different than I did going in. That actually scares me to a degree. I shouldn't be rambling in a Gaia journal about this s**t, but the people I live with and my family are sick of hearing about it. I'm sure they are.

I dwell on things though, it's what I do. I'm still dwelling on things I did and didn't do over a year ago.
Which, frankly, needs to stop because I'm starting to have dreams about it and that disturbs me.


...

Yeah. I'm starting to dwell on other things that need to be kept off of the internet now, so... The end.

It's not bad, really. The surgeons usually do some stupid "lol so how ya feelin" /gas mask thing and then you're gone in like 3 breaths. It's odd because you really feel like you fast forward a few hours and you're waking up the instant you pass out. Usually can't even feel any pain after, which is awesome

Hopefully you won't be as sensitive to anesthetic as I am. I'm always throwing up for 24 hours after from even the s**t at the dentist's office.

My mother is that sensitive, so I'm really hoping I'm not.

I think now that the initial fear of being knocked out is gone I'm more anxious about the procedures themselves. I'm undergoing four different things at once.

Oh lovely, no one needs that. BIGGEST of hugs for you <3

It's not the most fun in the world but it's not that bad. You feel a bit groggy is all... I don't know if you have ever taken recreational drugs but its pretty similar (lacking the loving every thing part) or even close to being drunk.

I had a general anesthetic just a couple of weeks ago for my teeth. I would be more worried about being constipated (which is does make you) rather than being sick. Buy some natural laxatives the day before so you can take them the day after to prevent 5 days of belly ache (by the time I realized I hadn't been for days it was too late and I was rolling around in bed holding my belly)

Fizzy sugary drink were nice as well because when you don't feel like eating they give you an energy boost.
