Going Under the Knife

[Belinda Barfield]

I am having surgery tomorrow morning. While my brain knows that anesthesia and pain meds are good things, my body is in total disagreement and will attempt to expel any chemicals introduced (to put it nicely). So, due to my brain’s inability to override the body, tomorrow has the potential to be a not so pleasant day. There are probably better anesthetic agents on the market than in the past so I’m hoping for the best.

If you have the ear of a deity, I would be grateful if you would mention my name in your next communiqué. Even if you just cast good thoughts into the cosmos, I feel every little bit helps.

Thanks, and as my daddy would say, “Y’all keep it between the lines and be careful out there.” I’ll check back in when I am up and about.

Good luck Belinda. I'm sure it'll all work out fine. Just pretend you're a possum Maybe someone will try and give you mouth to mouth

Hang in there and good luck!

My prayers will be with you Belinda. I had hip replacement surgery last Thursday, came home Sunday, am up and about, sore but happy. I will pray that yours will be so easy.

Positive prayers coming your way, Belinda.

FYI, if you tell your doctors you don't do well with anaestetics and narcotics, they can often use alternate drugs which may not make you as sick.

Hey Southern Lady,

You will be my thoughts and prayers! Just prayed, and I also added that you make us laugh here at the creek and he must get you better real soon! I know it's all so crazy with the nappy time drugs, but look on the bright side...you sure wouldn't want to watch them.

You take care and we look forward to hearing from you the minute you feel better!

Love Ya
Phyllis

Anesthesia is funny stuff. My first time when I woke up I couldn't feel myself breathing. Very strange. I got to thinking that I must be OK 'cause I could look around the room and see people moving and they weren't running towards me in a hurry. That lasted about a minute.

The second time I thought I was floating above the bed and reached out and grabbed the mattress so I wouldn't hit the ceiling.

Strange, the stuff that sticks with you. I've never had a drink so I don't have anything to compare this to.

Good luck. Try to remember the first thing you're aware of when you wake up.

Our thoughts and prayers will be with you, it will be OK. I have had surgery four times since 98, all went well and so will yours.

Fingers crossed for ya.

Look on the bright side, the after surgery anti-pain IV cocktails are worth the wait.
