Surgery Day

It was finally here! Surgery day! I was excited, ready, scared, calm, upset, nervous, anxious, ya know every emotion you can possibly think of, I was having it! We get to the hospital, I was saying prayers all the way there (everyone was covering me in prayer also) we got to where we needed to be, the breast center and I sat down after giving my name, I actually at that moment felt peace, I knew I was going to be alright, I am not sure what transpired to give me that comfort but I did not question it, I was accepted and embraced it. After a short while they called me back, they told Mike they would get him in a few minutes. I walked back with the nurse, she put me in a chair, kind of like a recliner, very comfortable. I followed all of the instructions that were given to me, I knew there were questions that I was going to ask but I could not for the life of me remember what they were, I was trusting that everyone, these complete strangers knew what they were doing and were going to take care of me. Once they had the IV in, I started to cry, the nurse was very comforting, I just had a literal break down back there, I wanted Mike, actually I needed him in that moment more than ever, I was scared and I knew he would say things to make me calm down and just make me feel better. Everyone was so nice, they really did take good care of me. Finally, they did get Mike and my sister they were able to come back which was good. I remember talking and all the sudden my BFF from work was back there, she never mentioned coming, it was such a surprise, an awesome surprise at that! She knew I was freezing, I really do not know if I was freezing or my nerves were shot but either way, she had them bring me a warm blanket and they stated the happy juice in the IV! You really have to love the happy juice! I started to feel very relaxed, at this point I am not sure what all happened but off we go to the operating room..
