Mi Doctor Hospital Updates! Admitted and excited! Woohooooooo!

[MumtazG38 86]

Ok, so I'm officially admitted to Mi Doctor. Sitting on my bed, in my room right now! Waiting for the nurse to come do my EKG! !!! So excited I might explode! HAHA! Anyways....just got my blood pressure taken. And ever since I got to MX I've been dealing with Nissi......ATTN: EVERYONE ASK FOR THIS GIRL! SHE IS UH-FRIGGIN-MAZINGGGGGG! Girl gets it done I tell ya! And she's quick as heck! Not to mention she runs the place and people here like a boss!!!! She'll do everything and MORE in her power to make sure you feel uber comfortable....or fall head over heals in love with her, and leave your spouse/partner.....one of the two !

- Nurse just walked in.

Ok, back, just got my EKG done. Was a breeze.....first time....is it bad I was thinking copious amounts of electricity were supposed to flow out of those probes and teach my left breast how to dougie.....

- Another nurse just walked in.

Yes so, just got my bloodwork done. Essentially pain free! Several unidentified solar systems better regarding pain level!!!!

- Hold on...EKG nurse just walked in...lol.

Okay....THAT was an owie...waah. . Just got the IV. The female nurse was having a super hard time finding a good vein (My veins ALWAYS end up FAILING me like this LOL). She kept on pulling it back, and shoving it in again.....several rounds of this and the mail nurse who was initially supposed to do my EKG (but Nissi the absolute angel felt I'd be more comfy having a female err...deal with that...situation. lol...she was so right ) magically walked in and asked me if I'd be ok with letting him have a try. I didn't feel a single thing when he did it....he also took his time finding my good vein and coercing that sneaky little b*tch out. He rocks.....U.S nurses should learn from this guy....no ish!

- One sec...A doctor just walked in.

Ok, so yeah. A staff doc just let me know my bloodwork and ekg look picture perfect and I'll be having the surgery in approximately an hour and a half! WOOHOOOOO! Can't wait!

Finally can use my laptop......sorry for such a super late update guys, but I went straight into surgery immediately following my last post on here. Surgery was a cinch as far as I know lol. They had me lie down on the surgery bed and put some anesthesia in and told me I'd be feeling very sleepy gradually and to just flow with it....I honestly remember nothing but that. I assume it must have been hilarious for the staff to see me talking (can't keep my mouth shut for the life of me...lol) and then just suddenly bam....knocked out mutha luvvaaaa lol!

Recovery wasn't too bad either. Not too much pain, just some discomfort....and not even that was too bad. Was butterflies and lolly pops compared to bein induced for labour let me tell ya! And was fairyland compared to epidural! YIKES! Just never do it girls....just dont!

So I'm lying on my bed in my room again, was having a difficult time getting up....am still pretty sleepy. I wanted to update on here and make some after procedure vids for my vlog too but I just got comfortable enough to use my laptop in a laying position.

As far as pains and discomforts go, I'll have more details in my blog....but I will just say that my shoulder is THE WORST!!! Arrrghhh....it hurts so bad. But only when it spasms. Dr. Garcia said it's myalgia from the drain tube. However that works.

Will update later once we get discharged and go back to the Marriott.

Oh....almost forgot. Sipping my first bit of gatorade for the first time post surgery. Not too bad, but honestly they had to bring it to me.....wasn't in the mood to ingest a single thing....still. I came to in my room around 6ish, and had left around 4:20pm. So yeah, not too bad at all!

[MumtazG38 86]

Oh and p.s......no nausea! Lucky me!

[SerendipityHappens 1,594]

So happy to see that you're feeling well. Walking around will help your shoulder a bit and every day will feel better!

Oh, thanks so very much for this preview of what I will be experiencing on Tuesday (30th)!!! Same hospital, same doctor, same everything. Good luck with the rest of your stay and, again, thanks so much for sharing this!!!

[MumtazG38 86]

NP....and just letting you know your in good hands! I promise. Oh and DEFINITELY do yourself a huge favour and ask for Nissi the moment you get to the hotel! Ask your coordinator to give you Nissi's number and get you in contact with her. She is a saint, and comes in to check on me every few hours....even if I'm asleep! She also really made it a breeze for my mom to re-cross the border to go get a rent a car to see LA and stuff....and had the driver prick her up and bring her back on time too......she arranged everything perfectly!

Good luck!

[MumtazG38 86]

Alright, so it's 7:31am here right now and the doctor on staff today told me I'll be getting discharged today around 9ish. To be completely honest......what a relief lol! The staff here was great and all and the took care of me like you wouldn't believe but I just don't do well in hospitals lol. Gotta get out and see me some Tijuana!

Just waiting on the doc to come and take out my drain.
