RECAP OF SURGERY....
so i woke up feeling super nervous and really scared not knowing what exactly what was ahead of me
im starting not to remember exactly what i was feeling but i know for sure that i was going to the bathroom alot.. heheheh
but anyways i had packed my bag the night before; and BTW i didnt use one fourth the stuff i brought, i really over packed but anyways
got to the bus station, and before walking to the bus stop i was SO nervous. i didnt want to tell my mom because i knew that she would get nervous too but omg i was just a wreck
when we were on the subway i was starting to calm down but realized that i only had 30 min to drink as much water as i could because your not aloud to drink liquids 3 hours before surgery
but we walked in and gave the papers and my health card that the lady at the administration desk had given us
but yeah then this lady called my name; gave me a gown and pants to change into and let me change
she came back and went through all the stuff that she had to
like double check if i had eaten anything in the past 12 hours
medical history
medications i take
all that sort of stuff
so then my mom came in and she talked to her about all other stuff like family history of stuff and what not but yeah!!!
then she got me on the bed and took my blood pressure,
and put some gel on my foot to hear its pulse
then she weighed me- 100 pounds! i thought i was 105 so thats good:P
or maybe the rounded down
lol but yeah!!
then i went and sat back in the waiting room
and she gave me some cream on my hands to make my hand numb and put tape over it.
and tells me that my surgery is going to be postponed another hour, and JUST before that somebodys surgery got cancelled, so like..... i was nervous that it was going to be cancelled.
but anyhow then the doctor came and talked to me briefly and marked my foot with a pen
and then the anesthesiologist came and also talked to me about putting me to sleep and all that
she was really nice
so then while the anesthesiologist was getting ready the nurse was just talking to me and then we walked towards the surgery room
we dropped my mom off in the waiting room, kissing her goodbye
and off i went
and the bed was in the middle
they had be take of my shoes and socks but i only took of one sock (the one getting surgery on)
so i layed down
she took off the cream and tape
and as she was doing the other hand the anesthesiologist poked the needle in, WHICH DID HURT
but ohwell
then i dont remember much... must have been knocked out!!!

arriving at the hospital
i got to the hospital, i did not know where to check in
i had been there a year ago for when i saw the doctor an decided what way of surgey i was going to do
but anyways while i had gone to the bathroom, my mom had asked somebody and we had to walk quite a ways to get to the administration or sign in desk
but anyways we got there and it was super easy; just gave the paper work. got a wrist band , went up the elevators and waited in the pre-op room!

nurse, anesthesiologist, and doctor talk to me b4 sugery
so a nurse comes and talks to me and goes through the same stuff that lady i mentioned before who got me changed into my gownand tells me that my surgery is going to be postponed another hour, and JUST before that somebodys surgery got cancelled, so like..... i was nervous that it was going to be cancelled.
but anyhow then the doctor came and talked to me briefly and marked my foot with a pen

we dropped my mom off in the waiting room, kissing her goodbye
and off i went
walking into surgery room
so i walked in and it was so cool!!.... there was 1 machine in each cornerand the bed was in the middle
they had be take of my shoes and socks but i only took of one sock (the one getting surgery on)
so i layed down
she took off the cream and tape
and as she was doing the other hand the anesthesiologist poked the needle in, WHICH DID HURT

JULY 3rd DIET?!!?
Alright so no sweets..
no sugar
no chocolate
aaaahh
ate an apple today...... pretty good
paired it with some cheese!!
but anyways i am trying to do my best to research what to eat days before surgery
It said that you should avoid whole grains, fribe, and fruits and vegetables
You should limit your diet to at least 2 dairy servings.
i also found that you have to eat
enriched grains like white bread and rice
also pasta
so like a sample of 3 meals before the surgery would be
Breakfast: bowl of cereal and orange juice
chicken noddle soup
chicken and mash potatoes with broccoli
so yeah i also read that you shouldn't have an dietary supplements but i dont know if that means that you cant have boost drinks or pedia sure
anyways that's my little blog on diets !!!!!!

June 26- PHONE CALL
So I got a phone call from the pre-anesthesia clinic.
and we talked about everything from going to the hospital, to putting me to sleep, and going home.
What a call!!!
They actually were going to give me a pregnancy test, but Im on my time of the month so I dont have to !! YAY
then we talked about the possible complications, and it kind of scared me a little ... not gonna lie but I hope to God everything goes right with Dr. Wright. No really thats his last name!!!
I am going to be in there for 1-2 days. GOOD GRIEF. and the surgery its self is like 2 hours and 30 min.... DAMN. why so longggggggggggggg
so I still didnt find out how long I will have to have the cast on but the nurse said most likely 4-6 weeks. I doubt that it will be 4 weeks.
Found out the the crutches are probably gonna be $50 so thats pretty good :S i guess......
Also found out that I should take tylenol instead of advil
and that I can keep taking my Vitamin D and reactine. (for my hives)
Lastly, I'll be having a TV and theres wifi! HOW AWESOMEEEEEEE
:)
pretty long blog post today... anyways.
8 DAYS LEFT!!!

JUNE 25th my secret ....
NO OPEN TOED SHOES???
That's right.... for years and years I have not worn open toed shoes.
I am embarrassed for my self. I do not think so much that I care of what other people think.
I use to tell people randomly because I did not want them to find out any other way. But that was when I was younger and couldn't care any less. As for the common question...
So as you can see now I have become more secretive about this whole thing. And here I am being a hypocrite telling the whole world... literally.....
I guess its different because I dont know any of you who are reading this..
Unless ofcourse some of my classmates stalk me somehow and read this... and if that's the case: so be it. I DO NOT value anybody's negative opinions or thoughts. I mean at the end of the day there's heaven and hell....God decides.
K AWKWARDDDDD

June 25th MORE about my deformity
Its a wonder how I do not really care what other people think of my special little toe.
Its an insecurity at heart and of which only I care about.
If I thought that it looked cute I would not be going under the knife.... But fortunately I am blessed to get it fixed.
What is my condition? I realize I talked about it without evening further explaining my deformity.
Well...brachymetatarsia is when your fourth toe is shorter than your fifth.
Hard to picture? Alot of my friends reactions are like that.
When I was a child, many people would want to see it. And when they did they were astonished, as if I was some sort of alien. How did they think that made me feel? Special? Dont think so.....
I hate to think what they would do if they were in my position .....
So back on track.....
brachymetatarsia may occur when you are born or it also may occur in your childhood. For me it happened throughout my childhood years. For the best reason, it just stopped growing. Thank goodness my other toes are short to begin with...
Do you want some pictures or something? or have you already researched it on google?
For now I am not going to be posting a picture of my own foot, but you can go ahead and research it.
So yeah........................................................................................

JUNE 25th My Condition
I was not born with this condition.
I did not injury my self.
God has so called blessed me with this deformity.
I am not so sure as to why I was given this as appose to anybody else.
Is it a life changing, experience? Will it put life in a whole other perspective?
Do I really need to go under the knife to boost my self esteem?
uh.... YES!!!!!!!! HELLOOOOOOO
Its a fact that all my childhood memories were hiding this little toe of mine....
Its a wonder how I never knew it was a disorder.
I use to think that I was the only one in the world with this condition.
I never understood that it could be fixed and that people would go under such extremes be happier.
So happiness is money then..... ?? NOOOOOOO
