i've had my lipoma on my left arm since forever, and yesterday, edna finally cut it out.
it hadn't really been a bother most of my life, except in the past three years of exceptional weight gain, it suddenly grew to ugly proportions.
so edna arranged OR (yes, put me to sleep so felt zero pain) under george's name at st. lukes, and in under an hour, lippy the lipoma was in a zip lock bag.
bye to lippy the lipoma!
it my first surgery (having my eyes lasered really doesn't count) and my very first hospital wristband. edna said it took me quite a while to be sedated and that i was very yappy in the OR. how embarassing. i am now dr. canlas' weepy and yappy sister who had to be put to sleep for a simple procedure. i really don't remember much, she could be inventing stuff. i do remember waking up in recovery and edna showing me lippy. cecille was right, anaesthesia is a very restful experience.
was quite hungry by the time i left the hospital (didn't have a bite to eat or a drop to drink at the wbcp "meeting" the night before, thank you)... so adri, edna and i had pizza, chicken wings and pasta at yellow cab. yum.
p.s. i was edna's very first official surgery patient! yay! (i didn't point out to her that i was a non-paying patient, so it shouldn't really count)
