Dear Goddess in Charge of Surgeons, Recovery etc:
Please let my surgery go uncomplicated and successful Friday so I can have my life back and get back to watching my 2 grandsons and riding my bike. I know you love children too and want me to be able to be back to my grandsons Tomas and Steven. Please watch over the surgeon's scalpel and make sure while he's near my spinal cord there are no "Oops! moments". First when I wake up, I'd like to be able to actually feel my legs and feet, then know that the surgery was a success. Please be sure to remind the anesthesiologist that if they are supposed to give me a pain block before I wake up from surgery to make sure they do it. The last surgery I had when I needed the angiomyofibroblastoma removed from my labia, they forgot and when I woke to a pain level of 10+, then with an audience I couldn't see since my eyes weren't quite ready to open, but my pain receptors were WIDE AWAKE the doctor and students watching him hold onto my private areas yanking at it like a ham hock say the patient isn't REALLY in as much pain as she's acting like she is .. buddy if my legs were speaking to my brain at the time, I would have showed you what "not being in THAT MUCH PAIN" felt like
Thank you,
A nervous, but hopefully soon to be relieved of pain Mary
