MY SURGERY. Yes, that's right, my surgery was
actually FUN! I've never had surgery before so
experiencing the whole thing for the first time was
really interesting to me. I guess it helps that I'm not
afraid of hospitals, I actually like them, whether
I'm a patient or not. Call me crazy, but I've had
nothing but good experiences every time I've had to
be in one so I suppose that has a lot to do with it.
(kudos to LDS Hospital)
I went in to get a growth removed from a duct in
my right breast. Intraductal Papallomis it is called.
Generally a benign breast condition but a biopsy
needed to be completed to be 100 % sure. The
surgery tech's, doctor, the nurses, and the
anesthesiologist all made me smile and literally
laugh out loud throughout my time there.
One of my favorite moments was when I was
being rolled into the operating room and heard
Micheal Buble's music blaring overhead.
(Can you just picture the surgeons jamming out
during surgery?) In the course of the conversation
I found out that the anesthesiologist is a "groupie"
for Buble. Whoot! "I'm a groupie too!" I bellowed.
Not for Buble I explained, although I do like him
very much.....
So while they were strapping me down to the
operating table (as if I would try and escape?) I
proceeded to share my musical obsessions with
anyone that was listening. So here I am yakking
away about David Archuleta and IL DIVO and
come to find out they have an Il Divo CD in the
closet. Oh gosh, can you put them on?
Before I even knew what was happening I
was out like a light. The next thing I knew
I'm waking up from surgery to my all time
favorite IL DIVO song....Nella Fantasia....
I mean how cool was that? They put it on just
for me. To think that I went under the knife
with "THE BOYS", my beloved IL DIVO makes
me giggle. LOVE IT, LOVE IT. So afterwards
while I was in recovery, Jaren, knowing I
enjoyed the whole experience way too much says
to me, "You want the left breast done now, don't
you?" (Quote of the day..LOL)
I received the pathology results today and
everything looks good. NO CANCER.
So A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH is also on
my Happy List today.
Thank Goodness!
