Day of Breast Implant Surgery

The day of my breast implant surgery was a bit of a blur, so I will tell you what I do remember. I woke up at 7 am that morning, took a shower and dried my hair. There was no point in makeup and getting my hair fixed. I was a bit nervous but more excited than anything. 15 minutes before my appointment I took my "happy pill" that the Dr. had given me and by the time I got to the clinic I was already feeling a bit loopy.

As soon as I got to the office the Dr. came and got me and my husband and took us into and exam room. All I remember is telling him that I wanted to be a large D cup, to make me as big as I could and still look natural. He then took me to the operating room and I swear to this day that we walked through a wall, hahahaha, I dont remember any door. He then had me sit in this chair in which he performed the surgery on, they took off my shirt, gave me an IV and that is all I remember until I was waking up.

When I was coming out of the anesthesia, I told the nurse how great my kids are and how I couldn't wait to get home and sleep on my new foam mattress. When they sat me up and put the compression garment around my chest I got real sick to mu stomach and I had a killer backache. Right in the middle of my back, between my shoulder blades ached so bad, I was still real sleepy so I dozed and didnt pay too much attention to the pain.

The nurses then wheeled me into what I assume was the recovery room, I was sitting in some kind of chair with a heart rate monitor on my finger and the nurses told me that my husband and mom were out having breakfast and would be back shortly.

I kind of remember my mom and husband sitting there with me, but it is quite foggy. I also took the heart monitor off my finger and put it on my other hand, it did give everyone a start, because it seemed like my heart stopped. Why is it I remember that so well.

By the time time I was ready to leave, I was still out of it and remember getting in a wheelchair and wheeled out a back door so I can get straight to the car, when I was pushed outside it was real bright, snowing and windy. My husband put me in the front seat, we leaned the seat back and headed out for our 2 hour journey home.

Well I was still out of it on the way home, but would try and stay awake and I remember getting caught in a real bad snow storm, we were literally pushing snow with the bumper of our Ford Escape, the visibility was very poor and it took
4 hours to get home. When we got home mom stayed the night with is because the roads were bad. I was more awake and not feeling too bad, I remember pretty much just hanging out and taking off the compressions garment and putting on a sportsbra. I also made my kids bed so my mom had a place to sleep. I also talked to my sister on the phone and went to bed when I was tired.

So surgery day was pretty easy. If you are planning on getting breast implants make sure you have all your "chores" taken care of so you can relax for a few days and don't over do it. You know what your limitations are so just be careful. And enjoy your new breasts!!!

Michael Dan Snyder - The Death of an Infant - Poem

I use to write poems while I was in High School, that was 12 years ago. Even though these poems are old I would love to share them with you. This first poem is wrote about my big brother. He had passed away 11 days after he was born and of course I never met him.

Michael had a 3 chamber heart instead of a 4 chamber heart, there was not enough technology to detect or fix the problem.

When I talk to my mom about him, she said even when she was a little girl she had always known that she was going to lose her first child. She even told my dad this, while she was pregnant with Micheal. There is something to be said for a mothers intuition.

Michael Dan - Wrote By Candy Hicks

You will always be their first pride and joy

And I've heard that you were the sweetest little boy

The month that you were born opened a new door

Oh they couldn't have asked for anything more

Little Michael Dan is your name

From your father who has the same

And from your mother the life she gave to you

Michael Dan you was there dream come true

Such a small bundle of joy to hold and love

Little did they know that the Lord

Sent you down as an angel to watch from above

Mother and Father only had you a short time you see

Because the Lord called upon you and said

"Come Walk With Me"

It was unbearable the pain and sorrow

How could they face their every tomorrow

Slowly their days went on

When they realized that there would always be a bond

The bond between Father, Mother and Son

And of the memories when your life first began

They learned to laugh and smile

Thinking of you all the while

Even though you are not with them in every way

You are in their hearts everyday

You will always be their first pride and joy

Mom and Dads sweet little boy
