Nurse: hey were going to move you down to the OR Me: I don't want to Brad: you'll be fine baby, I love you Me: I love you too
I was wheeled down and then moved on to the OR table. I was given an IV and then a sedative. I felt them put a mask on my face and then I was out. Dr. Sloan did all three procedures and then I was put back in my room. I started waking up around 8:45.
Me: mmm Brad: hey baby, you're done everything went well Me: mm mama where's mama Sarah: don't worry just go back to sleep Me: noo my mama, Hope, my wher...
I fell asleep and Garvin, Brad, and his parents looked at each other.
Mike: has she called Hope that before? Garvin: I've never heard her Brad: I haven't either Garvin: I'll text Hope about it
Brad's parents had rounds and Garvin went to get coffee while she texted Hope.
Garvin: Hey, Savannah woke up for a little bit and she called out for her mama and then your name was in the middle. Has she ever called you mama before? Hope: no, she hasn't Garvin: alright, we were trying to make sure, oh here's a picture of her, Brad got it before her surgery. Hope: awe she looks pitiful but thank you. Also, don't tell her she called me that, it might freak her out. Garvin: I won't
Garvin came back and watched whatever was on TV. I started waking up again at 12.
Me: mm Garvin: hey Savannah Me: everything hurts Brad: I'll tell Dr. Sloan you're awake
Dr. Sloan came in to check my incisions.
Sloan: they look good Me: so, what did you do? Sloan: you have two plates and 10 screws in your elbow, nothing but internal stiches in your shoulder, and then 5 stitches outside your ankle. Me: alright Sloan: so, your ankle will be in a cast for two weeks and then we'll take the stitches out and then recast until later. For your shoulder and elbow we are getting a custom brace for you that will allow your elbow to be casted and your shoulder to be immobilized. Me: how long for that cast? Sloan: two weeks and then we'll revaluate Me: how will I get around Sloan: you have two choices, wheelchair or a scooter Me: definitely not a wheelchair Sloan: that's what I thought. Well let's get you casted so you can go home.
Garvin: well I have to go, call me if you need anything and don't forget to call Hope Me: I won't and thank you for being here
Dr. Sloan took me to the casting room and I got both of them blue.

I was fitted with my brace and got my scooter. I was brought back to my room and Sarah signed me out. Brad drove me home and then Brad went home to get clothes, while he did I called Hope.
Hope: hey how are you doing Baby Horse Me: okay, I'm all casted but I'm home Hope: good, the girls send their best Me: tell them I said thank you Hope: you sound tired, I'll let you go Me: alright bye Hope Hope: bye SB
I hung up and Brad came back. Lydia made us lunch and then I took my medication and fell asleep. Brad woke me up for dinner and then I went back to sleep.
