Waiting

I'm in the hospital waiting for them to take me down for my surgery.  Its 11:40 a.m. and they said they would come by noon to take me for my 1:00 p.m. surgery.  I've been hanging out here since about 8:30.

Starting to get a bit hungry, as I had to stop eating by 7:00 a.m.   They already put the IV connector in my hand.  It took three tries, as the first two times she tried to use the big needle.  The big needle actually hurt a little.  I was flashing back to when I had my appendectomy back in 4th grade where they took 10-12 times to get an IV in my arm. 

This is going to be a bit weird, as I will be awake during the procedure.  They are going to numb my arm.  My request to bring my iTouch so I could listen to music was denied.
