Although I know I should be in be resting right now, I just can't seem to do that. I'm not sure the meds are working like they are suppose to...JoeDan says I'm bitchy...but that is pretty normal!! I feel like I could run a million miles right now and I am pretty sure these pills were suppose to help me relax and sleep...oh well! Pain meds have never worked right for me...I was a crazy woman when I got my wisdom teeth pulled!
Now for the update on how today went...My D&C was scheduled for 11:00 this morning. I was suppose to be there at 9:00 and get registered and all the paperwork done before surgery and of course I misunderstood where it was scheduled and went to outpatient surgery instead of ambulatory surgery and I wasn't on their list. By 9:20 and after walking to the complete other side of the hospital, I finally got registered and only had to wait about 15 minutes in the waiting room...thank goodness!! My nurses were great, although they couldn't get the IV in my first vein and had to do it a second time and it hurt like crazy. I thought all-in-all I did okay...until the Chaplin came in to talk to me. I have never wanted to hurt a holy person before today, but I came very close to killing this woman. She made me cry so much and all I could think was when is someone going to come in a save me from this crazy woman. She told me that I should have named the baby and I should have a funeral for it when I get home...don't I get to make those decisions and get to moarn in my own way??? She wanted to know all the details of both times...is it really necessary to bring that up right before I'm about to go in for this already tramatic experience??? Needless-to-say, all I could do was lay on the hospital bed and cry and I guess that was a sign to her to keep talking and tell me how much she is there for me...again I really thought I might kill her and if anyone heard what she was saying, they might have let me off scott free!!! Thankfully the nurses came in and had to put the IV in and saved me from this weirdo. I'm sure she probably thought I was an atheist or something, but at that point I really didn't care what she thought. I had already talked to God and he had comforted me...obviously I had to talk to him again after she left!! I told the nurses not to let her back in...and I sware it wasn't five minutes later that I heard the nurse on the other side of my curtain say, "Actually, she would rather not see you again. She's pretty emotional." I think that nurse should get a raise!
The surgery itself went really well and the doctor said that my body had already begun the process of detachment, so the surgery was not as extensive as it usually is. I was probably only in surgery for about 20 minutes or so. I went under and came out of anesthesia great.
Please know that your prayers are still needed as I know my physical and emotional state will be a rollercoaster for the next few days. I love you all and will talk to you soon. Thank you again for being in my life. You make it much easier to get through the tough times and much more fun during the good ones!

Laura - Thanks for keeping us all posted. It means so much that you've taken the time to post even after what you're going through. I cannot believe what happened with that lady coming in and saying those things to you. I've never heard of such thing! If I were you, I'd be contacting the head of that hospital. That is crazy!
Anyways, we love you and will continue to pray for ya'll.
Laura,
Greg and I have been praying for you and we will continue to do so. We were very sad to read your news but we know God is in control and He will lift you up during this time. I know that he is going to bless your family beyond anything you could ever image!
Love, Amanda
