2006.8.8. First surgery in my life. Laparoscopy. Scheduled to arrive at the Swedish Hospital at 10am for the operation at 12, but at 1pm, I was still waiting. Powerful drug. I was completely unconscious before going into the operation room, and for ~2 hours after the surgery. Had to spend the night in the hospital because my bladder wasn't completely awake. The surgeon, the anesthesiologist and the night nurse were efficient and super nice. However, someone made a wrong cut on my thigh, and a resident punched through my vein while trying to put on the IV, an overweight nurse at the recovery room didn't straighten the tube of the Catheter, causing my bladder to "scream" in the night. Overall, I'm well and recovering.
