Just a few weeks ago Thursday was a special day. It meant that there was only one more day left in the work week. But in the 2 weeks that I have not been working, everything blends together. I get up and try to things around the house, but I feel so blah. I wanted to go back to work until my surgery, but its such an emotional roller coaster. I wouldn’t be reliable. I work in the veterinary world at a specialty hospital, in the surgery department. I have a fair bit of experience with anesthesia. But now that I’m on the other side of the table, I’m scared. It may sound egotistical, but I’m hoping that my anesthesiologist is as careful and compassionate as I am. My friends make fun of me-I handle all sorts of things all day long, but as soon as the needle is pointed at me I pass out. They placed and IV for my MRI, and I passed out on them-I told them I would. The only way I can describe it is “weird.” It doesn’t hurt, but its the mental thing of something slithering under my skin…
Weezie-the procedure is a trachELECtomy. They will be removing my cervix and the upper part of my vagina, then attaching the uterus to the vagina, in hopes of preserving fertility. Of course, there’s a whole long list of ifs, as with anything. But, we’ll wait to see how it really plays out.
