Everyone has problems in their lives right now. I am no different then anyone else. My husband's doctor decided he need surgery right away. So off we went to St. Johns. 1st thing you must know is my husband hates doctors and hospitals. So he was already not happy about this. We show up at 7:30 am and they start processing him. He is in really good spirits and a total smart ass.(normal) The nurse asks him if he has a living will or power of medical whatever.. He is like no why do I need one..I am like yeah unless you want to be hooked to a machine to live. On the real side I know his wishes but do not want a fight with my in-laws on his wishes. So he fills it out protesting the whole time about voice of doom and asking for the worst. So they take him back and tell me he should be out in 1hour total. I was like that's awesome. Went down and got a coffee and came back up and the TV were you keep track of your family said still in OR. So I go and sit and wait some more 10,20,30 minutes go by and I go look to the all great and powerful TV screen status is still in OR. Okay so we are officially over the time. Great like I am not nervous enough. 15 minutes go by I carry my pager with ( did I tell you they give you a pager) me downstairs to the gift shop and coffee house. Granted anywhere you go its at least a 1/2 mile to get there. So I do some shopping and get another coffee then head back upstairs so now its been 2 hours and I call once again my mother and sister in-law(like the 50th time each) so they can help me stay calm. I am so use to being the patient not the family waiting for news. So once again I make an appearance in front of the TV status still in OR okay so now its not a good sign. I start to get really upset so I make my calls yes again.. Check the screen status OR really really it hasn't changed in 2 1/2 hours. I must start again asking questions. Blue Ladies please tell me whats going on with my husband, oh you need his name again (like they haven't heard it a lot). Oh okay so you are his wife, well the doctor wants you to wait for him in this tiny little room so he can speak with you. He could be 15 minutes. Great more waiting...Okay I am running out to the TV screen again no change and running back to the room.(don't want to miss the doctor) Finally the doctor makes his appearance in my little room (by this time I am having a panic attack not knowing all) He says Your husband stopped breathing(what) will the surgery itself took 15 minutes the rest of the time was spent trying to keep him breathing. He stopped 3 times. 3 times God brought him back. Okay so of course then they take him to ICU for 1 1/2 hours(still haven't seen him) Finally after 5 venti cups of strong coffee and 4.5 hours later I get to see my soul mate the love of my life. AHHHH I can breathe again he is alive and still a smart ass. Thank you God.... So when we tell him what happens he says its cause of the bad karma from the living will arghhhhhh. Still very happy...:)
