So, where was I? Did u snooze off?
When last we left our heroine, she was being held captive in the prep area, waiting for the Phase 2 group to check in.....Next up was Perky Paula the P.A. She came in, asked a lot of the same questions as Lois did and then made sure I hadn't eaten anything....I'm wondering....do some of the people who show up routinely order take out while they are waiting in prep? Unless someone smuggled in a cough drop, what could I have eaten in the last 90 minutes????
Here is Perky Paula....funniest thing she did was as she was leaving she was trying to pull the curtain closed and pulled the window drapes instead....leaving me to flash the Nurse's station...very funny....well, maybe not for the Nurse's but I thought it was.
Enter stage left....Dr. Mark Dimeano (spelling is phonetic, sorry) Mr. Happy Hour! You gotta love
a guy that opens with the line, "Happy Hour is ready to start"....I was saved for the last case of the day (he didn't say head case, but I think he might have inferred). Big Shoulder Repair, i.e. hardware out, new hardware in, rotator cuff repair x3 and the bicep stenectomy....perhaps with the complication of internal infection and my nerve wrapped up in the scar tissue (WOW! NOW that does sound like a 'BIG SHOULDER REPAIR' doesn't it?) I confessed to feeling a bit wobbly, as in anxious and Dr. Mark, who was also not hard on the eyes, promised to start happy hour right away. Here's his picture although he looks cute, it doesn't really do him justice...The last one to arrive on the scene...The SuperStar, Dr. Jason Stein, aka Dr. Hottie!! ~Sigh~ he's the local McDreamy....and just so damn nice it's practically disgusting....he popped his face in and said Hi....told us we were last on the list (best for last anyone?) so we could get his full, warmed up, ready for prime-time self! (Ok, maybe that was my spin on it) Or maybe since there was some question of possible infection, I was last so they could sterilize the whole OR down after me in case there was....BUT there wasn't. Here's Dr. Hottie's picture....
I'll get a couple more shots at my post op so you can see him in his street clothes....grrrrrrrrr
After this shot, I took a picture of the anxious face of Pat Ledger....
worried about me doing this for the 3rd time and the fact that he will have to fend for himself and the spoiled brats at home while I milk this recoup time for all it's worth.This is the last shot at the rotator cuff and I am going to behave and listen to everthing I am told to do to get the best chance of the best outcome....it will never be 100% anymore, but being able to hold a hairdryer and hell, even being able to put on some mascara would be nice....I'm a woman of simple needs. Cocktail hour started right after this and the rest is a little fuzzy until I woke up later.....that's it for now. XOXOXOX AL
