The Cerclage

So my surgery went okay it was the after the surgery that didn't go okay.

-Got there at 9:30
-Declothed and was okayed for surgery around 10ish
-Baby's heart rate was checked
-Anesthesiologist came to explain how I will be put to sleep
-Doc came to explain procedure to me
-Wheeled off to surgery around 11
-Came out of surgery I think around 11:30

...then it all went down hill...

-Wheeled into the recovery room
-As I was coming to the doc told me everything went well
-He left and the cramping began
-Nurse gave me a pain killer -- did NOTHING
-Told nurse the pain was getting worse
-She gave me a shot that was supposed to stop contractions -- did NOTHING
-She then gave me another shot that stung like h*ll! -- did NOTHING
-Doc came back...sent me to Labor and Delivery

...in Labor and Delivery...

-Jason met me in the hall to follow me up to L & D
-They started a magnesium treatment to help stop the contractions
-It helped, but it made me feel a little spacey...apparently my brother called and I don't remember this at all!
-As the contractions slowed and stopped I got the news that I would have to use a bed pan...
-They con't the magnesium through the night and stopped it the next morning
-They drew blood to make sure my blood wasn't toxic from the magnesium treatment...they drew it from the side of my arm which left a black and blue mark...
-My doc kept me an extra night just to be sure everything had quieted down

...The day I came home...

-Asked doc to do an ultrasound to see if things were okay
-My cervix lengthened to 3.9 cm :)
-It took forever for them to release me...but finally we made it home I think around 1ish

We won't mention the room mate i had the second night! Lets just say it was our tax money hard at work :\
