Hey guys,
The operation was successful. I wasn't knocked out completely. The procedure was simple and somewhat painless. They did put some relaxation drugs and numb drugs. They put a needle in my neck, I only felt a pinch and that was the only pain I felt. I remembered everything and when I was in my transporting bed to post op, I saw a X-RAY of my port in my main vein (connected to my heart.). VERY COOL.
I made a nurse laugh during the operation though
. It was when she asked the operating doctor if i needed more of a relaxation drug and I nodded yes LOL. They put a tent like cover over my head with a opening so the nurses can check me and ask me if I'm ok. The OP room was pretty slick. It had a huge screen for the ultra sound (to see which side of my neck is best; They decided on my right side) and for the X-RAY.
The operating doctor & the nurses in the OP room said I was the best patient they ever had. I will let my mother tell you more on the blog
