Surgery for Lefort 1

My dad drove me to the hospital for 6:30AM and I met with a nurse who asked me to go for a blood test to be sure the blood I had stored, matched with the blood that they may potentially give me. Ran around got a little nervous, but felt better knowing everyone is being safe on my behalf.

Got my bloodpressure taken, pulse, and the anistesiologist met with me. She asked questions and I told her the last surgery I got really nauseous and asked for assistance with that and she accomodated. The nurse came in gave me some sinus spray and cleared my nasal passages as the breathing tubes go through the nose with jaw surgery.

My Oral Surgeon came in , he is the sweetest man very caring and great bedside manner. He took another look in my mouth and asked me if I was ready to do this, I told him absolutely! I kept teasing him saying that he was going to make me look like a movie star.. He smiled and said you will have a movie star smile when we are done!!

The nurse gave me some happy juice and my friend said " you go girl!" and off I went.
I was wheeled into the operating room to see a whole team of nurses about 7 of them in addition to the 2 surgeons and 2 assistants. Just before I was put to sleep I told them to take care of my neck as last surgery my vertebrae was moved and pinching my main artery. No worries I was told and the lights went out.
