Back To Reality

For obvious reasons, coming round from my op was a tad hazy.  I remember waking up and people talking to me, there was a nurse there and I remember my consultant talking too. I wasn't in pain but very very out of it - morphine was my friend that's for sure.

Here goes for what I can remember.  The surgeon saying that they had expected to take out 4 fibroids but they took out 6 (4 large and 2 small hidden ones that were hidden in the ultrasound). Everything went well although he did say the funniest thing.  As mentioned before I had my period during the op - due to the size of the fibroids my periods were bad - real bad as I hadn't taken trans. acid due to nil by mouth - my flow was left to it's own devices so basically went into overdrive. 

The next thing the surgeon said which struck me as being mighty dumb was "oh my your period was really heavy during the operation."  If I actually had the ability to be my usual sarcastic self I would have gone: "Duuhhh, why else would I have pushed myself forward for major surgery." Alas, my comment only took place in my head.
