Pending doom

Melissa Ferrick-Still Right Here

So, it all went okay.  The van was 30 minutes later.  No complaints from me.  It was nice, waiting.  During the ride, I listened to Kimberly Freeman and One-Eyed Doll.  That calmed me down. 

So, mom and I entered the building.  Mom was told to wait somewhere else.  So, I was left to my own devices.  The lady had me sign my name on a few papers.  Was left alone and then called in to take my blood pressure.  I was pretty nervous.  She put some eyedrops.  Told to wait outside.  Got called in again and then asked to pee in a cup.  I laughed.  But peed anyway.  Then I got sent in.  There was piano melodies playing.  This was hell, I thought.

Lied down and tried to relax.  A guy came over and tapped the back of my hand to get my veins popping out of my hand.  He inserted that shit in (fucker hurt for like ohhhh, ten seconds?).  Then he put some clear tube thing in my nose. 

And then he came back and said that I'd feel something cold being put in.  I shrugged and waited.  And then next thing you know, I'm waking up very fucking hazy and moaning.  My mouth was fucking DRY as a motherfucker! I asked if I had my operation and that I was so very thirsty.  Then I dozed off.  Woke up and saw my mom at my side.  Asked if she was really there.  She nodded and said yes.
