Princess Leia Goes Under the Knife!
I have never had surgery before. This was the first time and I was a bit nervous. Not about the pain or recovery, but mostly about being aware once I am in the OR. CREEPY! I went in armed with my princess Leia hat and my xanax... I remember them wheeling me down the hall towards the OR and I wasn't scared at all. I kept thinking, "I should be panicking right now, but I don't care... weird." Then I woke up. They were right, anesthesia works! I think I had seen too many of those ER mishap shows back ten years ago when they showed them in big blocks...remember those? all the worst case scenarios were running through my mind! (: I was so happy when I woke up and it felt like 2 seconds. That is amazing!!
Dr Fay is the best and I am so happy we worked with her! I felt so comfortable being in her hands and her capable team. She said everything went so smooth and she was extremely happy with the results. I went in to see her today and recovery is going great too. Even from the first day I didn't have much blood loss at all. During the surgery they said I only lost 5cc's! 25 cc's is very low for the surgery so we were shocked when she said that! We even got the drains out earlier than expected because I had hardly any blood loss continued through this week. It was so minimal almost ridiculous. Very thankful for that!

Girl you look really good in that shot! I'm sorry you've been weathering this storm but uh... 5cc's! What a miracle! God is truly looking out for you in all this and I'd say he's got plans for you to stick around a long while more. Continuing to pray for you and love you dearly. xx
