My Liposuction Experience

My surgery went really well....from what I hear. To tell you the truth, I don't a damn thing that happened after I got my shot of Demerol.

I do remember feeling some discomfort at some point but it felt like a dream to me. I remember mumbling about something hurting and trying to push the doctors hand away, then I remember feeling someone take my arm and then after that, nuthin.

I don't remember getting dressed, talking to anybody or even going out to the car.
Connie was nice enough to fill me in on the blank spots.

Aparently I was so out of it on the way home that I was sleeping with my mouth wide open and was snoring!
Connie took me to her house for the night and she said when we got there I went into the bathroom and vomited. Then I proceeded to walk down a flight of stairs and vomit in another bathroom.
I "woke up" about 5:30 pm but then immediately passed out again until about 10:30 pm, I saw later that I had texted Connie and asked for more blankets because I was cold.

The next thing I remember was it being morning and I had to pee. I got up, went to the bathroom and attempted to look at myself in the mirror, but promptly passed out.
Thankfully Connie heard me fall and came down to help me. After I got to relieve myself and see myself, I went back to bed for a few hours.

When I woke up a few hours later, I felt pretty good. I felt good enough to go home and be able to take care of myself again.

I've felt really good the past few days, I'm just really sore. And bruised.

And oh yeah, sorry y'all, no video. Connie wasn't around for the before surgery giddiness, she was only there to pick me up. And she didn't think it was appropriate to tape me in the state I was in post surgery.
Although she did say she thought about taping me snoring. That I wouldn't have minded seeing, I'm sure it was funny!

Even though it was weird and highly uncomfortable, I'm glad I did it. And when I'm not swollen anymore and all healed I'm sure I'll feel even better about it.

Where is the video footage? :) Glad you are feeling better! And can't wait to see how fabulous you look. Even though you were already fabulous! ;)

I'm glad you're feeling better. I've had a few friends endure lipo. It's never as easy as "they" say it's going to be. Take care of yourself!

Wow, this was difficult to read. I can't imagine actually going through it. Hey, on your blog, for some reason I'm getting yellow text with a white background. Is that just me?

Glad you are OK.

Cheers,

Casey

I'm glad you're feeling better and I'm sure glad that your friend was there to take care of you!! Strange the things that we can do and not remember after a surgery! :)
