My Special Surgical Experience

FibroDiva

676 views

Ok, don't think I'm silly but I'm ready to share my s urgery experience. Let me preface by saying I have a twin brother named Bev. Bev is 3 minutes older.

 

Wonder Twin Powers . . .

 

So the only thing I remember about surgery is “Ninja woo ha”. I thought I kept seeing a puff of black smoke and hearing a faint whispered “ninja woo ha”. I would then see my twin brother Bev appear out of nowhere intently looking over the surgeon’s shoulder.

 

At one point I thought I was standing next to my twin looking at the operation and taking to him . . .

 

Me: “look you can’t keep Ninjaing in and out of the OR.”

 

Bev: “I’m just making sure the doctor doesn’t make any mistakes”.

 

Me: “ahhh, you really do love me better than Greg and Bea”.

 

Bev: looking all pouty faced, “Na uh”

 

Me: “so how are you able to “ninja” in and out if we don’t do the Wonder Twins Power Activate” thingy?

 

Bev: “I’m the oldest, smartest, and I am a 7th degree black belt in taekwondo! Duh.”

 

Me: “well you know this is awwwkward, I am naked down there.”

 

Then I hear, “Ninja woo ha”, see a puff of black smoke, and with that my twin is gone and I’m waking up in recovery with my twin brother Bev and son, Phil staring at me like I’m some kind of alien survivor of a crashed UFO.

Hello FibroDiva,

Congrats on everything going successfully. I am 1 week away from my surgery. I wouldn't be real with myself if I didn't say I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Excited to be a healthier me and nervous about giving up my love affair with food, lol. I'm glad I found this forum and hope that it helps me in the future.

Blessings,

MzO

Welcome MzO,

I agree about giving up that love affair with food. My mother was born and raised in New Orleans and my father was one of the original crew of the US Enterprise CVN 65. Thus my siblings and I were raised in a housedhold of wonderful, exotic, fattening food good for a grew of over 1,000 : )

I was in the hospital post-op for for days. 2 days after returning home, my family was posting pictures of familial delicacies on facebook and tagging me, go figure.
