Surgery

I got surgery on September 7th. I thought it was fun! Brad thinks I'm a freak because I love hospitals. We got to the hospital at about 7:30 am. Everyone says that IVs hurt really but when I got mine, it didn't hurt at all. To all of you guys in the future who need IVs, don't worry. They don't hurt that bad. Surgery was at 9:15 ish. I hung out with Brad and we watched "Bones" until it was time. My friend's dad was my anesthesiologist which was pretty cool. Gotta love living in a small town. Him and Dr. Heath came in and spoke with me for a second about what was going to happen.

Eventually, I was wheeled back to the OR. I was having fun talking to everyone in there who was prepping. They were really nice and thought I was crazy. They said most people aren't so "happy" and "calm" before surgery. The anesthesiologist told me he was going to put something in my IV to relax me then he would put the mask over my face so that I would go to sleep. After I was asleep he would put a tube down my throat. As soon as he put the stuff in my IV the room started spinning and it was making me sick. I told them, "The room is spinning and it's making me sick so I'm going to go to sleep. Good Luck!" My surgery was an hour and a half so it got done at like 11 ish.



Right after surgery.

When I first woke up I cried for a second because the pain was so bad but crying made it worse so I stopped and they gave me more meds. I didn't throw up or have any problems other than breathing. When I go under I forget to breath or don't breath enough. It's weird. They put me on oxygen for a while and I was discharged at about 1:30. 

The burned off my Endometriosis (google that word if you don't know what it means.) and put dye in my Fallopian tubes. The dye wouldn't go through one of the tubes which means it might be blocked... Dr. Heath also took out my appendix because I showed signs of appendicitis. Lastly, we also discovered that my body is making too much insulin which is slowly giving me Type 2 Diabetes. Everything went really well! Things could be much worse!


Surgery isn't scary at all. If you every have to get it, don't worry. Like I said, it's kind of fun!

The Royers, Established 2010

I figured I'd start with some of our wedding pictures before I jump into present time and all of our upcoming adventures! For those of you who are still getting to know us, We're quite an interesting couple.... but, we have LOTS of fun!

I am originally from Las Vegas, NV but moved to Cedar City, UT 3 days before my freshman year of HS. My husband is from a small town called Blanding, UT.

Brad served and LDS mission in the Indianapolis, Indiana Mission and came home December 23rd 2009. We met at Southern Utah University on January 4th 2010. I thought he was a stupid jock and he thought I was a ditzy blonde. He is an Athletic Training Major and I am an Elementary Education Major. He proposed in the mountains at Brian Head on March 6th 2010 and we were Married in June.

I married my best friend on June 26th 2010 in the St. George Temple. For all of those girls who are waiting to someday get married in the temple, it's worth the wait. It's absolutly amazing. Promise.

”When you come to the temple you will love your family with a deeper love than you have ever felt before. The temple is about families.”

-Richard H. Winkel

"If every husband and every wife would constantly do whatever might be possible to ensure the comfort and happiness of his or her companion, there would be very little, if any, divorce. Argument would never be heard. Accusations would never be leveled. Angry explosions would not occur. Rather, love and concern would replace abuse and meanness."
--Gordon B. Hinckley

”Married people should be best friends; no relationship on earth needs friendship as much as marriage...” Marion D. Hanks

”I urge all who have not yet received these greatest of all blessings within the walls of the temple to do whatever may be necessary to qualify to receive them.”
