Exploratory Laparotomy - Hate!

Okay. I am still blogging hours before my admission in the hospital. I am not supposed to blog but I just want to share something that I heard from my OB-Gyne.

“Let’s see if we can do bikini cut…” Wtf?! There is a small chance that they would grant my request. I requested for a bikini cut because I don’t want my abdomen to look like my mother’s abdomen. Wahaha. Yes, I am serious. I’ve seen hers because she underwent TAHBSO years ago and I really don’t like how the scar looked like. My mom then told me, “Bakit? Di ka naman nagbibikini ah.” Haha! I know, I know! But the thought of having a vertical line in the middle of my beautiful abdomen (lol) makes my self-esteem lower than low. Haha. Overacting.

The reason why my OB-Gyne can not promise me a bikini cut is because they would be doing exploratory laparotomy. In short, they would be examining the contents of my abdomen, not just my reproductive organs. When I was still a nursing student, I was not able to assist this kind of surgery. I wonder how it looked like. Poor nurse. Haha.

Another rant that I would like to share is that I am so unfortunate that I wouldn’t be able to attend the First Nursing Expo here in the Philippines. It will be held on March 8-9, 2008 at Megatrade Hall in SM Megamall. Sayang talaga. Kainis. So if you’re a nurse or a nursing student and would like to attend the said event, just go in this site for more information. I’ll go now. I wish I could blog as soon as I get out of the hospital so that I could share here my experiences as a post-operative patient not a nurse assisting a surgeon. Hehe.
