Successful date in the OR with Dr. Kreymerman
I had a very successful date with Dr. Kreymerman on Thursday in his OR, and I just want to update you. Tamy, Eric, and I got to the Mayo Hospital around 1:00 pm. Floods of memories came back to me as I stepped on the elevator to the 2nd floor waiting area. Although I don't remember this, Eric later told me I had a horrible panic attack in that waiting area, and today I was afraid of that happening again. Sitting and waiting was the most challenging part for me; Tamy tried all her tactics on me, but I was not focused today, and my mind was wandering. Paced and paced until they finally called me back. When Dr. Kreymerman came in to see me before surgery and take out his purple marking pen, I was so happy to see him and felt like my fears subsided. He has a way of making his patients feel comforted and secure. Well, he does for me anyway...... I am blessed to have such an incredibly talented and compassionate doctor. I cannot imagine a better fit for my personality than Dr. Kreymerman.
The nurses were ready to wheel me back to the OR, 1st kisses and hugs from Eric, my favorite man of all time. He loves me, and we've been through so much together. It's nice to know that through it all, he's still here, he knows everything about me, and still, he loves me..... and Tamy, my dear friend Tamy has been with me through this all with no judgment, only love .... thank you, thank you for your sweet smile and happy thoughts.
I had to spend the night and the next day in the hospital....seriously ???? I have a problem with my plumbing after surgeries, and I cannot go PEE .... Dr. Kreymerman came over to visit with Eric and me. He's a funny guy. He loves his wife and is excited about the new baby. A unique spirit comes into a family when you bring a new baby home, and I feel the Kreymermans are about to be blessed with that special someone.
Since coming home from the hospital, I am still in pain, but the rocks that used to fill the holes where boobs were supposed to be are gone. They are soft now, but I still have to wear that ugly post-surgical bra 24 hours a day. Remember the one I blinged out last year? I was lucky enough to get a new one put on after this surgery....whoo hoo, It's impressive that the pain from the rocks is gone. The only pain I feel now is from the incisions where Dr. Peter Kreymerman did his magic. I have also been nauseous the last couple of days. I don't feel like doing a celebratory dance but soon; really, who wants to come to watch?
