Emerald, When you look back, you'll know you worried about the wrong surgery! The best thing you can do for yourself is relax and entertain beautiful thoughts.

, I'm so excited with you! That was quite the dream. lol

When I was coming off my anaesthetic, I was talking to my

granddaughter, and daughter-in-law - laying on my couch in the

livingroom, not realizing my two sons were within earshot. I was

saying, " I don't care if my boobs look like fried eggs, lemons,

canteloupes, or watermelons.....as long as their mine! " Boy, I

wondered why my granddaughter looked at me so weirdly. They told me

later how I was grinning with my eyes closed, and then asking what

time it was, every 2 minutes for 1/2 an hour. My soon had a real

hoot with this. I warned them to remove the children if I start

telling dirty jokes.

Soon you will be " au naturelle " . Hooray!!!!!

Love ya,

Sunny

Rogene - that was EXACTLY what I needed to hear! that statement just

hit me so emotionally - you are so right, of course! yes, yes, yes,

I will be reminding myself of that from here on out.

I thought I saw an email subject that you broke an arm? I hope I

misread - but it's true, I sure hope you are resting and healing!!

And Sunny, now you have me worried I am going to tell off-color

jokes to the hosptial staff, lol!!

, one nurse told me she's heard everything and they are very

forgiving! When I had my hysterectomy I was hallucinating later that

night....I saw big, black beetles on my bed! I sat up with a jolt

and starting swatting everywhere. Thank God the lady next to me was

compassionate. The nurse that came in a few minutes later, was not

so nice. She yelled at me, " What's going on in here? " I felt like a

little kid in trouble! lol I love insects and animals, so it was

really weird for me being half-stoned on anaesthetic and demoral and

swatting beetles! LOL

Love ya,

Sunny p.s. we have to laugh at life, or life gets too

serious...that's my motto.

Leyna,

Wow, that was really freaky! Scalpel and all! I don't know the name

of the anaesthetic, but I know I had it mixed with demarol

(sp?)..Strange isn't it, how these things affect us. Scary, too.

Nowadays, I find the anaesthetics much better. I've gone through

alot of surgeries in my time. There was no garlic taste this time

and we joked about that...he offered to go and get me some garlic!

After my explant I had mild symptoms, other than being kinda funny

and chatty. I felt almost too good for 3 days and did a little too

much.

I am so grateful to have my own body back. Every night when I change

for bed, even though I've got love handles now, I love the way my

breasts feel when I take off my sports bra. Not sore anymore...light

and yes, even a little bouncy! lol

Love you lots,

Sunny

and they used Stadol (sp?) as the anesthesia. I had miscarried and

was getting a DNC, and I hallucinated that the surgeon was coming at

me with a huge bloody scalpal! I started screaming " Don't take my

baby!!!! " over and over till they knocked me out! So now I just tell

doctors NOT to give me Stadol when I have surgery-I was told

afterwards that hallucinating is a common side effect of it!
