Surgery. part one.

Hey, everyone. As most of you know my ear surgery was today... That went well and pictures to come later. The Doctor gave me the OK to fly to Las Vegas and to swim, but to take it easy in the volleyball area. :( Thats alright, he didnt say I couldnt play. So, Tanner or Talon or Taz, can someone help me with it? :) Go easy on me though guys...
So, late last night, around 11, me and Trampis went on a late Taco Bell run and had a feast! It was very good, we just talked on the way there and back and sang a lot. I couldn't eat past 5 30am. So, it was fun. We woke up around  6 30 and drove to portland, I was sure I was going to have a panic attack. but, I didnt. I was calm, what was WRONG with me? :) Anyway, we got there and everyone was being so nice and Trampis was doing him this-is-how-i-show-you-I-care and was trying to make me laugh, being mean to me, and writing Team Awesome on the white board in my room. Thanks Tramp, I love you too :).  Anyway, we got in and checked in. Dad and Traci met us there. They led us to my room, all of us, and made me change into there lovely cloths. They had a screen that can be pulled basically anywhere and you can watch shows, movies, play games, go on the internet, mostly do anything. We checked out the movies. One of my nurses came in, asked a bunch of questions, and did nursy stuff. Then, are you ready? this was the most hurtfull part, which is suprising to me, the I.V. They tryed once in my rist on my left arm, and this other nurse was so kind. Mom put on transformers so I tried to focas on that. It hurt a little but once it was in I was fine, Except when she said she couldn't find the vein and was digging around a little, which still didnt hurt all that much. I just tried to keep thinking, katniss leg burned, peeta leg infected, Bethany Hamelton arm off by shark. The Lady, Rebecca, said she had to try a different vein and if this one didnt work, She'd call someone else because two trys was her limit. The next was in the middle of my right under arm. This one hurt way worse and everyone was looking and I just started crying, I really didnt want to and dad just stood in the door way because mom says he hates to see me in pain. She apoligized and said I was really brave, truthfully I felt like a whimp or a baby, and went to get someone else. They decided to just wait to give me some laughing gas to put it in. It was about 2 hours from when we got there to when they rolled me down the hall, through a tunnel thing and into a waiting for surgery kind of room. But before I talk about that I want to talk about someone I saw there. Across the hall was another room, my door was open and so was theirs. It was a little boy, I think around 8 or 9 and he had a sister with him, maybe his twin. His sister was walking around his bed, covering him up with a blanket and talking to him and as far as I could tell, making him laugh. Then a nurse came by with a wheel chair and said, "ready?" His sister smiled and helped him into the chair and followed him to where ever he went, while passing my room she saw me looking I guess. she gave me a smile. I thought this little girl is so amazing!
They unlocked my bed and started rolling me down the hall, personally I wish they had let me walk. I felt helpless and soooo scared I just broke down again, and Dad and mom where right there. The whole time. Thanks guys. I was already scared and helpless and I felt everyone we past was staring at me and I was embarrased. I hated being wheeled to the room. In the room they asked follow up questions and went through the perceder again. Then it was off to the surgery room. I could say I was ready and calm, but that would be lieing. I was trying not to cry. The doctors were so nice! They got me all situated on the table and strapped me on. Then they told me they were going to put the laughing gas mask on me. They did and I just layed there waiting for it to kick in and then it turned sweet. I knew it was coming so I just closed my eyes. And i honestly though I was dreaming. There were voices but when someone spoke, they said everything twice. When I did open my eyes I had to keep reminding myself it was real.     the nurse was trying to talk to me, she was all, "we are putting the I.V in" and I think I laughed, they did and I could feel it a little. My whole body felt numb though. The lady said, "Why are you going to Las Vegas?" and I was all, "To visit cousins hahahahaha." The doctor asked if I felt loopy and I said,"no" and then laughed and hes all, "Trust me, your loopy." I remeber that the doctors were saying how the hospital gowns looked from the 70s and then he got right in my face and said, "Can you feel what I just put in your I.V?" I didnt really understand so I said "mmmhhmmm" and the last thing I remember before being completely out was him wishing me sweet dreams.
I woke up in the recovery room pretty confused and tangled in my pulse thing, my I.V and everything else. A lady came by and told me Where I was and said she was glad I was awake but she wanted me to sleep a little more. So I just went back to sleep. Then I woke up and she said I had tossed and Turned quiet a bit so we untangled me. Then they started rolling me out of the recovery room. They rolled me past the waiting room and everyone saw me and started following me back to the room. Back in the room Mom and Traci took pictures and Then Dad, Traci, and Trampo left. They were going to drive all the way back to ontario that night. Mom and I started Soul Surfer and we were watching that while they took out my I.V. Then she gave me water and a popsycle. Then they let me get dressed, made sure I was all good, put me in a wheel chair and we were off! Just like that! We stoppped and ate dinner (i was starving) and then we went to my grandma DeeDees house. I took some pain medication just because it was begining to throb a little and then I fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up DeeDee was back and we all taked about it till around 10. Then I read till 12.
I am reading Insurgent because I finished Divergent. They are sooooo good!
Anyway then I fell asleep. I had this pretty awesome dream that the doctor took the cotton that filled my ear out and said everything was fine. I woke up and was about to turn over. It was begining to be light outside and when I lifted my head off the pillow, it was covered in blood. Ya, it scared me, but I just woke Mom and Tim up. We saw the packing in my ear had fallen out. We called the doctor and he picked up, it was 4 in the morning! I love my doctor! He said just to put a cotton ball in again and I'd be okay. I did cry, because I didnt wasnt to go back again, but because all the lights were on I noticed that my hand was bloody, and my shirt and the blanket at my feet.A few people have told me I do strange things in my sleep, my friend said I braided her hair once, Ive put on a sweatshirt, and wrapped pillows in blankets, but I'd never done something like this! I must have thought I was the doctor or something! So we bandaged me up, got a new pillow, took some pain stuff, and I just went back to sleep. in the morning I cleaned up and we were ready to leave when my doctor called, he said he had been thinking about me and wanted me to come in just to check everything. so we went to his office. He cleaned my ear out and put some stuff in my ear. He said he needed to clean the blood off so I dont scare his other patients. Then we came home and Ive just been hanging out all day.
So, I'm all good :) Ive been feeling pretty good and eating good which is a good sign.
Well, I'm gonna go read or take a shower, wish me luck. :)



Bye!
