Day 2

Well, didn't get a chance to write yesterday. A little out of it, but did get to watch the Opening ceremonies at night. Everything went fine with the surgery and the doctor was happy. Some familiar faces and anytime I entered a new room, I herd this is Mary Beth's son. Not sure if that is good or bad. Haha. Just kidding, everyone at St. Lukes was great and they love Mom.

It all started bright and early yesterday morning and had some funny and interesting moments. Mom not only picked the doctor I went to but also the anesthesiologist and everyone else in the room for surgery. The anesthesiologist was great and also very funny with his Arkansas accent. He told me he was confused at first when my paperwork said I was a gold pro. He wasn't sure if I won a special award or something else, but then saw that I worked at Norwood Hills CC and knew it was supposed to be golf pro. Haha. He continued to "work his magic and then gave me some "I don't care medicine" and oh it was good.

Next I went into the surgery room and knew the team that Mom had hand picked was going to be good. From behind my head I hear, "and now we will be working on our breast augmentation surgery." They must have saw my face and then we all had a little laugh. I on the other hand had somewhere else to go and counted backward from 10 and made it to ni...zzz.

Next it was back to the holding room where the woozyness continued. But I wasn't as bad as the guy next to me, poor Jim. He must have had prostate surgery and was still dreaming of something better. I must have herd Jim lay back down and Jim please keep your arms down about 38 times. And the kicker when I knew it could have been worse for me, "Jim you have a tube in your penis and if you move to much it will come out and we will have to put it back in." I quickly looked down and made sure I didn't have the same problem. Thank god I didn't. Haha.

Before the surgery, they gave me what they called a block. It's basically medicine injected in the nerve in my leg, making it go numb. Let me tell you it is amazing. I didn't feel any pain yesterday, but starting last night it unfortunately started to wear off. I am now feeling the affects of having a knee that was just operated on. Not so good. It's a good thing I have the Olympics and KU basketball today and tonight.

Alright, hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Hope to see you all soon. I'll walk right over to you soon. Haha.
