I may start another page with my possible round 2 surgeon...stay tuned. ????

Everything has been great and I really appreciate my DR Family (as they have taken me in and treated me special). I've been up walking around since the morning after surgery but "bent bent bent" as they say. I've been drinking plenty of water, pineapple and cranberry juice. I've taken one stool softener and feel so much lighter. I've been eating soup, salad, chicken/beef and rice and beens daily. My boyfriend left on the 4th day. I miss him but I love the peace and quiet. I sit on the terrace all the time with my pillows or catch up on my movies on Netflix. The most painful part of this entire process for ME has been the dayum heartburn and eating with the faja. I didn't use my funnel because i wanted to get up and walk to the bathroom. It was made easy as this faja has a big ole' slit in it. I went driving around with Brito as he made his pick ups and drop offs. It felt good to get the fresh air and do some real walking on the pavement. I must say I walk bent and pace my breathing and takes it easy. Jose, Nena and Brunilda have truly taken me in as family. Jose felt so guilty we made a stop at KFC and Krispy Kreme all for me :) we cracked up the whole time because come to find out my bf and I had ordered the same exact things. I went to the mall with Brunilda one day and it was sooo nice but I knew I wasn't carrying anything extra back so I window shopped. Nena then took me to get my toes done because they were looking aweful. Just so you know ladies, Brunilda will charge you $30 for a massage and wash up if you tell her Ebony sent you. Her daughter had sx with Diaz right after me and she looks great. I've learned so much insider information on this whole PS rackett here in DR, it's amazing. Please feel free to ask any questions and I will share as it comes to me :) I have created an IG page to allow me to chart my pic/vid journey a lot quicker and easier....EBONY_NYC.....feel free to request.
I'll be back with more as this was on my head right now :) I pray this finds all of you beautiful ladies well :)

The night prior, I had packed my suitcase and had it ready at the door. Jose was ringing the bell and helped us load up. We arrive at CIPLA then take the elevator to the 2nd floor. I had been communicating with Genisis (pronounced Hennisis) months prior as well and it was such a pleasure to finally meet her. I call her my Sunshine Girl. She's beautiful, accommodating, speaks english and was there for me every step of the way. One we left my boyfriend in Diaz's waiting room, she literally walked me through the entire process. 1st stop was blood work on the first floor. I sit in this tiny little room and Lizzette (yep i'm calling her out..lol) begins to look for a vein. Now I know DAYUM well they aren't hard to find on me but she seemed to have a little difficulty. At this point I was getting frustrated so I just told showed her what vein to take and where (smdh). Now brace yaself Dolls. This is not the typical 1-2-3 blood drawn. I have never seen anything like it (call me a youngin a 39..lol). She pulls out this syringe with a long ass needle and proceeds to slowly let that biatch fill up. I'm like you don't need that much but I shut up and let her do her job. After that I go next door to the xray room and 1-2-3 chest xray is done. He then gives it to you to take back to the Dr. Once in Diaz's office, a little man comes in with his EKG machine and goes to work. It was 1-2-3 as well. He asked a series of medical questions and I was good to go. Like a well oiled machine, in walks Dr. Diaz. It was like I knew the man as we communicated for months prior...even him talking to my PCP I admired. We went over the plan and he marked me up. Such a nice man. He's attentive, a good listener, English speaking and most of all his communication is on point. Never once felt I didn't know what in he hell was going on from day one until now. After all of that and we were on the same page, I waited with my bf in his office as he stepped out. We were just waiting for my blood results. Didn't take long at all. In the midst of my conversation, Genisis passes me her cell phone...she said it was the Dr. I said hello and asked if everything was ok. He then proceeded to tell me that my blood results yielded a hemo of 8!!!! Yasss Ladies a dayum 8!! I was like what the F*! He said no worries at all as he was going to have me test again at an outside lab. You would think I followed his assurances and remained as cool as a cucumber like he but hell to the no! He then said he called my PCP and she confirmed my hemo was last 12.8. So in walks right on time THE MAN!! Jose, we jump in his van and he takes us to a lab only minutes away. He blinked, and put on the smoothe moves with the ladies and they were eating it up. Next think I paid like $8 US and was at the front of the line to get my blood drawn. Now THIS tech found my vein in a dayum second and was quick as hell. She then told Brito she will have the results in an hour. I mean if it wasn't for this guy....we woulda still be waiting!! No one spoke a lick of English. He was such my cheerleader and so good to me and by boyfriend. By this time it's 12 noon (my sx was scheduled for 11) and he said he'll drop us off at the apt. so we could relax and calm my nerves and that he'd be back with the results in an hour. I was so pissed and emotionally like f* this sh*t. Mind you I hadn't eaten since Sunday at 10pm and didn't like that the lab at CIPLA had me F*'d up. I laid down and my bf rubbed my back and told me stop tripping. Everyone was so cool and calm but for me it was like just something to get my nerves going. Well as I was about to doze the bell rang. It was Jose, smiling in my face and was like "it's on" we gotta move cuz the whole sx team is waiting (had been since 11am). He called Diaz from the van and he said "I told you don't worry" hurry on back so we can get started. He also explained that LIZZETTE may have let my blood coagulate in the syringe OR the machine at CIPLA was faulty. Either way I was happy as a pig in sh*t when I opened the envelope and it read Hemo 12.9. From here on out everything moved so dayum fast! My boyfriend and I were moved to a private room...Genesis came and got me and took me to the Ambulatory to be admitted (same deal, height, weight, questions and more papers to sign). After that we hustled back to the room to get me in my sx blues and I took the blue pill (didn't do a thing for me). I kissed my bf and was wheeled off to the OR. As they took me back, I saw other OR rooms being used but wasn't high enough on the gurney to look inside. I then see Dr. Diaz and Dr. Sabala looking down on me. They asked if I was ok and said everything would be fine. I smiled and felt so comfortable in their presence and care. Next the female anesthesiologist put her hand on my forehead and rubbed it. She asked if I was ok and that's ALL I remember until (the last I don't know how many minutes) I felt tugging on my abdomen. It didn't hurt as in pain but was a weird uncomfortable feeling. I'm now sure if they were stitching me up or putting in the drain but I knew BOTH Dr.'s were working on either side of me. I felt a groggy kinda out of it feeling but no pain T.G. After that I was wheeled in a temporary holding room where the tech sat alert and was there for any movement. He checked my blood pressure, management my IV and just watched. I was the only one in there at that time. What I will say was the worst for me was that room was COLD AS ICE. I couldn't stop shaking and stop my teeth from chattering. He was nice enough to give me an extra sheet. When it was time for me to leave, I noticed to other ladies in the room with me going through the same process. As I was being wheeled out ANOTHER one was being wheeled in. Not that big of a room mind you. I then wake up to my bf giving kisses all over my forehead. I wanted to karate chop him as I was not in the MOOD!!! He then put on my blanket from home and my extra fuzzy socks. I immediately felt better. I laid in bed all night and finally realized why i had heartburn. My faja was put on during surgery! I must say I was lucky to have 2 of the best nurses and Dr. check on me through the night. They managed my IV and I was good. The next morning I wanted to get out of that bed so bad. I had texed Diaz and he said he was coming shortly and to wait. They brought me soup and pear juice but I was in no mood to eat or drink. I had this strong urge to get up. I didn't feel nausea or vomit. Next thing I know walks in Jose/THE MAN with a small cake lol. I was like wth?? He said he wanted to make me feel better and that it will be time to go soon. But as I glance over at m bf I see them making eye contact..... I was like what are you two up too? Come to find out....while my ass was in surgery they went out riding to get KFC and Krispy Kreme!!!!! I was like wth really??? So Jose in his humor brings me the cake to make up for it. I wanted to laugh so bad but that, coughing and sneezing are out of the dayum question. Minutes later in walks Dr. Diaz and Brunilda and my nurse Nenaa. I so love them all! They took care of me and gave me the a ok to bounce. BUT not before DAYUM Lizzette came again to take my blood. This time she was a little more efficient. I then had a room filled, BF, Jose, Diaz, Brunilda and Lizzette and a CIPLA nurse Paulina (sooo sweet). They were all speaking spanish and laughing. So again I'm like hey what's so funny. Then Diaz says oh I forgot to tell you that your 1st massage is NOW!!! I immediately went from happy to scared, nervous and in fear of pain. As I moaned and bit the pillow they were carrying on like I wasn't even there..smh. Well to conclude my blood came back 11 and there was no need for a transfusion. I had to eat my soup and pear juice as per Jose's orders before eating the cake and leaving. We get to the apartment and everything was a ok. They helped me in bed, propped me up and I began to watch Netflix. Jose hung out with us for a while and my nurse Nena took care of everything (she washed me and cleaned my faja). What I will say, whether you come alone or not, isn't the issue. It's to make sure you have a good driver, good nurse, good communicative Dr. and comfortable place to stay.
