SURGERY

I got into the Operating Room and all the doctors are there. The entire OR Team. I transfer from the stretcher to the Operating Table, and then the anesthesiologist, and the surgeon work on getting that IV done. Once that was complete I started to orient myself in the room. Then I saw that huge machine with many arms. Maybe between 15-18 arms. The operation was supposed to be all laparoscopic. I assumed that was the machine to be used. They set up my arms to be strapped down. And that's all I remember.
