Surgery

So this morning I arrived at the hospital at 6:00am. They got me all set up in my room and asked some pre operation questions. I got all set up on an IV which was a problem because I hate needles in my arm but I got over it after a few minutes and maybe it wont bother me in the future. Right before the pushed my bed down to the operation room they put a "happy" medicine into my IV and let me tell you that awesome. About half way down the hallway (which was about 2 minutes later) I started to feel the medicine. I was in a good place going into the operating room. I had to roll from one bed to the operation table and that was a struggle the medicine made my body so heavy and I had a hard time making it to the other bed. Then from here I only remember getting a blanket on me and I said "well this is nice and warm" and they laughed and said it was out of the dryer and the next thing I knew I woke up 2 hours later in recovery room. This is my first surgery and my first time under general and everything went so well. I woke up feeling refreshed and not groggy at all to be honest I thought they hadnt done the surgery yet. It was a weird but cool experience and I am glad it is over. Now I am on the road to recovery!
