Surgery #2

I headed in for a angioplasty to cauterize the bleeder in my cheek. I was in surgery for 9 hours. It was a horrible experience for me as I could not open my jaw due to the 1st surgery so I had to intubated awake. The anesthiologist told me that I would be in a twilight state and wouldn't remember anything. Trust me when I say I remember EVERYTHING. It was awful. I woke up in ICU where I spent about 24 hours. I had so many IV's in me and they were trying to get blood and couldn't. Finally one of the nurses was successful in getting blood from an IV (something they are only allowed to do in ICU). I spent three more nights in the hospital and was finally allowed to go home and finally able to have solid foods (ice cream that is).
