When you think you look cute with a snap chat filter 😂😂 starting to get a bit nervous for my surgery Monday. In 32 hours I will be admitted to the hospital (have to be there at 7.30 am). Even though I'm starting to get nervous, I'm not nervous for the surgery at all. I'm most nervous for getting the iv, because last time it took them over 4 hours, 20+ pokes and 4 anesthesiologists before they finally were able to start an iv. I know it's stupid to be more nervous for starting the iv rather than the surgery itself. But this will be my 16th surgery so I know what I can expect. If everything goes well and my electrolytes behave I'll be home Monday evening. I just hope that this time they won't refuse giving iv potassium during the surgery. Last 3 times they refused, said it wasn't necessary, but my levels dropped like crazy after surgery.. Last time they did give some iv potassium and my levels stayed within range. So I'm hoping I have a nice anesthesiologist Monday that's willing to listen to me, because I know my body and what's best. I know I will have Hypokalemia after surgery and feel like 💩 when they won't give it. I'll update Monday after surgery. Hope you all have a nice weekend. ************************************************* #hypokalemia #spoonieproblems #surgery #portacath #portacathsurgery #nervousaf #chronicillness #invisibleillness #intracranialhypertension #electrolyteimbalance #lowphosphate #lowpotassium #spooniestrong #totiredtofunction #headachefromhell #ineedaspinaltap #irregularheartbeat #generalanesthesia #shuntlife #shuntproblems #childhoodcancersurvivor #anesthesiologist #hospitallife #operatie #ziekenhuis #ziekenhuisleven #operatingroom #gripperneedle
