Hey everyone, had my lumpectomy on Wednesday, had to be at hospital at 6.45am got transported over to imaging for the node mapping and another cat scan. (Those needles in the breast weren't as bad as I was expecting thankfully. I was thinking they would hurt as much as the biopsy but I barely felt them. I'd already apologised to the technician in advance in case I started swearing!) Back to the hospital to sit around for another hour or so and then taken into pre op for prep. All the nurses were really nice and I told everyone I met about my intolerances to pain relief which I was assured wouldn't be a problem. Until this witch came barging up to me, interrupting the two nurses with me, and went through what I couldn't take and announced 'well I don't know what we're going to give you then'. I had no idea who she was and asked one of the nurses who the bossy one was and was told she was a surgeon and never introduces herself to anyone. She wasn't with my breast surgeon and his staff who were there and there was too much going on to get any info. So, I came out of anaesthetic without any pain relief whatsoever and was in incredible pain that took the nurses an hour to get under control because the witch hadn't authorised any drugs for me. They found another dr and got fetanyl and endone into me but I think I went into a bit of shock.
Sorry for the long post but the more I think about it the more p*ssed off I'm getting about the witch who's name I don't know ... yet.
