Weird Pre-Surgery Jitters

[jenneliza 257]

Idk if you want to know all if this but I've worked in an OR before. Most of laparoscopic surgeries the patient is already positioned and draped head to toe by the nurses before the doctor comes in to the room. The drape has to be there before they can start an the docs usually just talk to each other in the hallways while the nurses, techs, and anesthesiologist are setting up. And they don't care. They see naked bodies every day. Just wait till your one year follow up and then you can wow him!

My jitters were not what I would look like on the table, but what I would say on my way under. I had surgery on my knee a couple years ago and I was awake in the OR while they were getting me situated. They gave me the iv stuff that starts the process as they were strapping my arm down and I blurted out "I'm being tied down to a table in a room full of hot doctors and i'm not going to be awake to enjoy it!" The last thing I remember was seeing my doctor who looks like a sweet old Grandpa. I was so embarrassed when I woke up and found out it really happened!! The nurse was trying to assure me it was no big deal. Lol!!

My surgery is Aug 15th too. I will tell you as a nurse, I have seen LOTS of naked bodies, and you really don't remember them afterwards... unless they are VERY unique... tatoos, piercings, unusual scars, so, I wouldn't worry about it.... :wub:

THAT SAID, I do have to say that I feel that my beautiful body is VERY UNIQUE to ME!! :ph34r:

And I have a georgous Doctor as well and I really don't want to see how Unique I am!! I keep having to remind myself that I am beautiful on the inside and it really only matters to my beautiful husband!!

Best of LUCK!!! Lets keep in touch!!

I have 11 tats, lol. And luckily I know they are looking rubenesque bodies all the time so they are used to it. But I also know that fat or skinny...we are beautiful people inside and out.
