Pincushion

Kinda groggy still, so I'll be brief.  We got the hossy at 545am.  Got up to the Surgery Admit, they tried to start the IV.  This is where it started going downhill.  Let me just fastfoward thru 13 (yes, 13) sticks, 9 blown veins, and I finally got an IV in my foot.  They said I was so dehydrated and nervous (I broke out in hives around stick 6, and I was bawling by the 5th blown vein-that shit hurts).  I got in there, was knocked out before I knew it, put on a vent cuz I wasn't breathing on my own (fairly common when under, I guess), "procedure done and a success", so says the doctor.  My arms look horrible, I'm groggy...but atleast all is done now.  I told everyone I'm not going to obsess about pregnancy again.  It happens, it happens.  The last few months have just been too much, even taking a toll on Alex (mostly him having to watch me go thru all these "procedures" and having to be the strong one when I'm not).  I have tomorrow off to rest, not feeling too bad..some cramps, mostly my arms and sorethroat (from the vent).  Thanks for the wellwishes.  I'm just feeling very...out-of-sorts, I guess.  Still half-stoned from the meds..see what tomorrow brings.
