Fun times ahead.... after not eating anything since Midnight the night before (by the way, I did have my "Last Supper" at the usual joint - Town Hall but only had 1 or 2 cocktails) I headed off to the Hospital.....
Deanna (my girlfriend for those of you who don't know) was a trooper. She drove me to the hospital and stayed with me until I left for surgery. I was less than impressed with the Hospital and staff for too many reasons to list now, but I do have some funny stories to tell about it....
I sat and waited for 2+ hours contemplating about what was about to be cut off..... By the way, even though the nurse had stuck a LARGE needle in my arm, I was given NO DRUGS to calm my nerves or keep my sanity.....Next time - I'm going to request large volumes of drugs.....
The next few hours are gone, but I woke up in the recovery room with a large bandage on my lower abdomen....Of course, the first thing I did was to chek out the new addition and to make sure they didn't cut off the wrong one and all of that...
I was the proud new owner of a fake left testicle!!!!!! The right one seemed fine. It did feel like someone hit me in the balls with a sledge-hammer though. OUCH!!!!!!
I was H-U-N-G-R-Y!!!!! The nurse gave me some crackers and juice, but I wanted more than that.....
They called Deanna (who was shopping or something....just kidding, she was tutoring...)
I was supposed to stay the night in the hospital, but they asked me if I felt well enough to go home. Dumb question - of course if given the choice, I'm going home!!!!
Deanna drove me home and with some help from my buddy Christian, got me up to my couch. She then cooked me a giant portion of chicken and rice. I felt much better (with the exception of the sledge-hammer effect.....)
