Hey friends, welcome back to llama Mama Kayla's yarntube, I'm Kayla and today is surgery day. So I wanted to let you all know. I finished my Mardi Gras socks to wear to surgery, so I'm happy about that. They turned out great. I ended up doing three rows of each color and I did use a six millimeter hook, and so they turned out really good. I, like them, can't wait to wear them to surgery, I'm not excited about going to surgery, but at least I'll have something fun to wear to surgery right make the best of what you have to deal with. Okay, and that's what I'm doing so. I have my Mardi Gras socks, um Big Daddy's, getting ready and we're gon na head off up there um. I don't know about other people's hospitals, but my Hospital at night um before your surgery. They want you to shower, and then they give you these packets of big, thick wipies and they want you to after you shower. You wipe your whole body down in these wipies and they give you like six of them and they want you to wipe your whole body down the night before surgery and then after you shower, then the next morning, um before you get dressed to go or whatever They want you to wipe your whole body down again with a whole nother set of these wipies that they give you. So I'm fixing to go. Do my second set of wipeys and then head on up to the hospital. Um 6 a.m. It'S early to be there! So I've got about 30 minutes to get ready and we have to leave. So that's what's going on guys, but I'm excited that I did get my second wind and completed my socks. I found something to watch on um. Let'S see what did I watch that on? It'S it was called, it was a movie something from Tiffany's. I believe it was a really cute movie um I enjoyed it um. I can't remember what it was on if I watched it on Prime or Hulu. I can't remember, but you can Google something from Tiffany's and see where it's. If it's streaming on one of the streaming channels that you have there's so many streaming channels right and it seems like everything you want to watch, you have to get a new streaming channel to watch that it's crazy, crazy. But anyway I got my second wind finished. My socks now I just got to go finish getting ready, so we can get out of here. I'Ll see you all later on in more clips for this video foreign foreign, hey friends, I'm back um today is Saturday February the 4th and I'm recording this clip. My surgery was yesterday February, the 3rd, and so I just wanted to pop on here and let you guys know that I'm okay, my surgery went well and that I'm fine. There was a couple hiccups, but it was the reason why I was getting the port in the first place um. So we got to the hospital a few minutes before six yesterday morning and I was in the first three people that they called back, because I was case number one for the day. So I was glad that Miles getting my surgery done first and then I would be home, you know faster and able to just get in the bed and recover you know, and so it didn't go quite that way, because I'm there to get a port, because my Veins are horrible and they can't put IVs in me, draw blood and all that kind of stuff. Well, guess what every nurse back there in surgery came by and took a poker or two with me and they could not get my IV started. One of the anesthesiologists came and tried to get um The Abbey started and he couldn't get the vein and then he was like how many times have you been stuck because by this time I had little not that I was really bleeding, but they would fold up The gauze and put a piece of tape in case it would bleed, so I had it all back of my hands, My Wrist all up both arms. I had all these little pieces of tape with the gauze, and so I'm glad that usually I take those off like right away, but I'm glad I left them on there. So he could see how many times I have been stuck um and he said I'm not gon na keep sticking you. This is ridiculous. He said we need to just get a midline put in on you. So there's one guy at the hospital. That'S trained to do that. His um his name is Steve, I'm very familiar with him because he has put PICC lines and midlines in me for several years now so um. He knows me, you know he recognizes me and knows who I am so anyway. They called him to come do that, but she was already doing something else, so we had to wait on him to come and while waiting on him um, another anesthesiologist came and tried to get an obvi started, and I think he had full confidence that he was Going to get one started and I was praying that he did get it started, but um it. It didn't happen. So we waited for Steve to come and then he was able to get me going so once all that was squared away, then I was back on the lineup for surgery and um. They took me back and did my surgery. I woke up in recovery with a good bit of pain, and so they went ahead and gave me some Dilaudid and um zofrin and they had gave me some um Phenergan before surgery. So I had all that going for me, so I wouldn't be nauseated and thankfully I was not. I have not been and I have not thrown up so that's great, because my body just cannot handle pain. Medications like that. I get sick of throwing up and stuff. If I don't have enough Zofran or Phenergan, or something like that, but anyway um um, I am sore, but it's not unbearable soreness. You know like I think they did give me a prescription for Tramadol. I think, but we didn't even get it filled um. If, if I felt like I needed it, Jody could run to Target real, quick and get it, but I already know I'm Not Gon na Take It unless I was in like really really bad pain, so I'm not gon na even get it filled, because I don't Like taking pain medicine, I don't do that unless um, unless I'm in so much pain, that I can't stand it, but anyway um other than my neck and chest when you're in surgery. They tape your eyes shut. They put a piece of tape on your eyes and so my eyes, where the tape was this one right here of the eyelid. It feels like the skin has been ripped off and I know that's from where they took the tape off this one is sore, but this one is so raw the skin. It just feels like the skin is going on my eyelid um, and it is quite red, but anyway um I'll just show you like in my neck right here. That is where they put the port, and then I have another cut right here and I don't know what they did there, probably just feeding it through or something to connect it wherever it needed to go. I'M not sure, but that is like right in the base of my neck, where my neck meets my shoulder. So it's a little tender and it kind of hurts to um turn my head or to look up. I could look down a lot easier like just bending over and looking down but to look up, um kind of pulls on it a little bit, and so it's just best not to do it right so um. So I'm just hanging out since I came home from the hospital Big Daddy put my hair up in a lovely ponytail and I've slept on it. So it looks a mess but um. At this point I just really don't care. I really don't care, I'm just trying to rest and let this heal the soreness go away which it will in a day or so. You know it'll feel a lot better um, so no plans just other than recuperating and hanging out to see to let this heal, um everyone at the hospital was so very nice. All the nurses back in the surgery were just super super nice, so lovely um and then even in surgery. You know they're just so nice before I went to sleep and we never gave me that shot and said you, okay, you are to start feeling a little bit sleepy. I said I'm there and next thing. I know I woke up in recovery and I had a male nurse in recovery and I love male nurses. They are the greatest. I think male nurses are just very compassionate and I don't know they just they listen. I'M not. I mean I have great nurses all the way around yesterday, but I in particularly like male nurses, um, except when I woke up from surgery um, you know, wasn't a little pain and he got me a shot and some zofran and then that eased up - and I Was okay and then I told him I had to buy and he said: there's not a restroom back here, um there's not one until you get to post-op and then he said I can get you a bedpan and I say how much longer do I stay adhered? He said, you've got 30 more minutes back here and my bladder was hurting. I knew I needed to go so he got me a big fan and I just sucked it up. I just like: okay, whatever he got me a death pen and he did call over a female nurse to come and help him and she did and got me on the bed hand um and I overflowed to death end. That'S how bad I needed to go. I know this is way too much information, but I I just peed and it filled up the bed pan and spilled over and he was like. Well, I guess you did need to go. He said there's no way you could have waited another 30 minutes. I said no, my bladder was in pain, it was so full and so and I did go potty just before I went to surgery. I could I knew after they got everything done. I knew that's supposed to take me back and I told Big Daddy. I said I need to go potty before I go in surgery, but they had that Ivy going and fluids just flushing through there, so um yeah anyway. After um, they got me into post-op. Dick daddy came through it got me um. I went in there and he got me dressed and uh helped me clean up and I keep white bees and all kinds of stuff like that in my bag. So he cleaned me up real good and got me dressed and we came home and I was glad to be home um I pottied again, and then he put my hair up in a ponytail and I went straight to bed. So I've been in the bed um. All yesterday evening, most of the night I would get up a little bit to party to get something to drink. My throat is very sore and it kind of does hurt to even swallow much lava. Now. This is different from you know when I'm trying to eat. I hurt down here. This is different, I'm talking the back of my throat. It hurts to swallow and so um I don't know if I just if they put a tube in my throat. I don't know if that irritated RF I've got just a sore throat. Who knows - I don't know but um it does hurt to swallow saliva and to drink tea or anything. But I've tried to drink some hot teas. I poured out a hot caramel apple tea and made it and sipped on it. Some just trying to um through that. Back there and before surgery um, my friend Angela's dad had surgery on his neck. Well, he did not take it easy. He was outside feeding chickens and taking out garbage and all this kind of stuff, like the next day, okay like as soon as he comes home from the hospital, his wife had him doing all kinds of things. I told my friend Angela, I said not me, I'm going to be saying Jody. Can you hold my glass so I can get another sip of tea and I said I'm gon na be saying Jody. Can I get another bite of ice cream, and so I haven't been doing that, but Angela called to check on me this morning and um. She asked what I was doing. I said I'm waiting on Jody to wake up, so he can hold my glass. So I can get a sip of tea. I'Ve hold my own glass Angela. She said: how long are you gon na milk that I said about a month so anyway she watches all my videos. So, but if you don't mind, please say a prayer for Angela's dad. He had that surgery um on the 23rd and um anyway. He ended up in the hospital day before yesterday. I guess, on Thursday, with a partial, collapsed lung and they said it's irreversible due to years of smoking. So heads up people smoking's not good for you um and he quit smoking several years ago, probably like in 2000 15 or something like that. He quit smoking somewhere around. There might have been 14 15. um. He quit smoking because of a diagnosis. His wife got with her eyes from smoking, she's losing vision in her eyes and they said it was from smoking, and so he quit smoking way back then, but the damage is still there. You know it's still working in his body and so he's at home. Now on oxygen, he can't walk without his oxygen dropping down in like 70s and like to 80., so um yeah smoking's, not good for you, but anyway um I'm doing good. I really am I just uh sore, you know but, like I said, it's not unbearable. Soreness it'll work itself out in a day, or so hopefully um last night. I was sitting here and I hadn't even looked in the mirror yet and so big daddy was over there. Opening mail is so. I said I hadn't even looked at this. Where is it at and so uh got the mirror my mirror here - and I looked at that - and I looked at this and I said I'm not gon na be able to wear a bikini this summer and he was like when's the last time you wore a Bikini I said well last summer: I don't think I've ever wore a bikini in my life, okay, I was just being silly like right after I started losing fingers in my hand. Um I don't know. Maybe I had lost one or two fingers. I can't really remember. I just started crying because - and I said I wasn't gon na - be able to do sign language. I didn't ask that I wasn't gon na be able to do sign language um, so I just like to be sound silly, sometimes, but yeah. This is just gon na. Take some healing like I can move my neck and head and stuff it just kind of pulls on it a little bit. So I'm just trying to keep it still, but you know I move it at times and then I'm like, oh and I just take a little getting used to, but anyway guys um yeah, I'm just hanging out. I have a couple crochet projects I could work on. I have that iguana that I was working on. I could get back on it, but I got ta count my rows and figure out where I was in the pattern, and I don't really feel like doing that. Um I don't know. Maybe I just don't feel like crocheting, because I have that Easter Circle vest over there. I could work on it because I'm not on a certain row, I'm just crocheting on it. Um yeah. I have things I could work on, but I just hadn't gotten anything to work on it. Maybe I felt more like that later today, or maybe I just don't feel like crocheting right now. I don't know, and you know I was glad that I got my socks - done - everybody loved them in surgery like I said before, um, maybe in yesterday's video that the last two times before when I've had surgeries, I've crocheted me, some socks to wear and so um You know everybody was commenting on my Mardi Gras socks. Um there was a hit of the pre-op room, the curtain room where you go before you have surgery um everybody was commenting on my Mardi Gras socks and then they were even telling the other patients about them. I could hear them all talking and so I feel like I had to keep that up into socks for surgeries now, but anyway, just being silly um yeah. So, like I said I have projects I could work on. I just need to feel like doing. I might just sit here and I might go lay back down. I don't know, I don't know what I'm gon na do. Uh could find a good movie to watch, and so why? Don'T you tell me your movies or what tell me what streaming streaming station it's on and a movie that you enjoyed and maybe I'll be able to find that we do have several streaming Stations between um between us and my kids. We do have several streaming stations going, so just tell me what streaming station you've watched a good movie on and the name of it I'll see if I can't find it that'll help me, because I have my eye my iPad tablet. I have my tablet back there by my bed. It'S propped up just at the right angle, where I can lay in bed and see it so um. I can lay in the bed and watch movies until I doze off. I might set up for a little bit here, um, because if I lay in the bed too long, I start hurting from laying in the bed. So I have to sit up for a little bit and then go lay down for a little bit. And I just kind of take turns, but yeah mainly I just wanted to. Let you guys know that I'm okay and I appreciate you all so much. I appreciate your prayers. Prayers is what gets me through every day. I promise you that I believe in the power of Prayer. I am a Christian and I know some people may not be, but I appreciate you watching my YouTube videos anyway and I try not to like be pushing. You know my beliefs on anyone else, but I am a Christian and I do appreciate prayer but um yeah, I'm just very thankful for you guys thank you for watching my videos so very much and um. I love hearing from you guys and love. You know chatting with you and getting to know all of you better anyway, I'm rambling, because I really don't even know what I'm saying. I think you get the idea. I appreciate you so yeah I'll. Let you all go see you later bye. Friends,

Several of my family members have similar issues with IVs and blood work. There is always that one person, that doesn’t want to listen, when you try to tell them you need the “Expert”. Never fails, they end up having to get the “Expert”. I am sure they have a title, but my brain isn’t helping me find the title. Sending love to you. You and Angela’s Dad are in my prayers. All my Grandparents used tobacco. I saw first hand the damage it does to the human body. Kayla, rest and take care of yourself. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Your socks are so cute! Careful, you will be getting orders for them, from hospital staff! God Bless

LindaJean House: I'm happy you're doing well after the surgery, that was scary about the IV. I'll continue to pray for you and all your family. Angela and her family as well. In fact prayers for everyone associated with Kayla and her channel.
Jody Fink: The socks came out great! I'm so glad you got that burst of energy. It always makes me feel great to finish a project instead of admitting defeat. Early calls to the hospital can be a real pain in the tush for sure. They do put a tube down for an airway. I'll pray for Angela's dad. My dad smoked for 60 years plus. At 88, he's paying the price, even stopping over 10 years ago. You'll get used to the port after a few days. As for a male nurse, he asked if I minded him being my nurse because it was during my breast cancer and he had to check it. I told him I'm fine with it. Modesty went out the window long ago. We watched the Elvis movie a couple of weeks ago at my friend's house. It was great and made us cry at some points. Hugs and love to you and Jody and the boys. Sassy may be upset since there is no neck cuddle time for now. Prayers for you and Angela's dad.

Only telling you that now since you’ve got the port! Anyway now I’m rambling Have a relaxing weekend!!
Alecia Flaherty: Your Mardi Gras socks are fabulous! I miss going to the Mardi Gras parades in Shreveport. I’ve also been to them in New Orleans, but the throws were so much better in Shreveport. We used to live 20 mins from the Louisiana line in Arkansas and shopped in Shreveport a lot. I’m glad your surgery went well. You know you probably need to start a new granny square project as a reward. Prayers for a speedy recovery and for Angela’s dad as well.
Julie Ann: Kayla, thank you for coming on here to let us know that you are o.k. Love your socks, so colorful. Glad your surgery went well, except for all the needle pokes. Will be praying for you to feel better fast. Also praying for Angela's dad. It's good to be silly once in awhile. OMG what a great idea I had, make colorful socks for people who have to have surgery. I will have to check into that.
Rose Renik: So glad you are doing so well after surgery, glad you were able to get your colorful socks completed. I also had a similar experience with having to go pee, but I couldn't use the bed pan, sat on it for an hour and no go. I told them I had to get up to sit. They could not find a portable potty so got myself up and grabbed my Iv and went to the visitors restroom back in the recovery area I got to the door and had a nurse yelling at me, I told her it was this or a ruptured bladder. She grabbed two measuring hats and put them in the toilet and helped me on the toilet. I filled both the hats she dumped them and filled 2 more. She was amazed I had so much. I told her that when I say I have to go I realy do. I also told her I am a Nurse and I have a Nurse bladder but when it gets full I realy have to go. I can't use a bed pan. Praying for you and Angela's father for a speedy recovery. Take it easy and rest and recover you have had a rough week and then some.
