The day of surgery has arrived! I had to report to the surgical staging unit at 9:30am. A nurse took me back around 9:50, took my vital signs, asked me a bunch of admission questions and started an IV. A resident then came in and asked me several of the same questions. It was pretty much a morning of just waiting. My surgeon was behind so we were just sitting there waiting for a couple of hours. We talked and joked around, not really about the surgery, but about other things. I was nervous at this point and reflected a bit with my husband on why I was doing this again. All the reasons came back to me quickly with our brief conversation and I knew I was doing the right thing. I just wanted to get it over with!
