All done!

IMG_4487By 3:50 pm I was miserable…shaky, throbbing head, and a little nauseated. So, the nurse came in a hooked me up to some fluids. Aaaahhh…

I walked into the OR and they took my BP, put in a nasal cannula, the anesthesiologist said “hello”, and I was out!

IMG_0488Woke up to sounds of the recovery room and I had the best nap ever. There was an ice pack on my tummy and apparently they let me nap for an hour after the procedure.

IMG_0487Got some goldfish crackers and apple juice and it was so good but I’m actually not hungry anymore. No nausea and I’m not too groggy. Thank goodness!!!

On my way home now and I’m so sore! Getting dressed was interesting. We use our abs for EVERYTHING! My throat is sore too from the oxygen blowing for an hour.

Thanks for all the messages, everyone! You really kept me company and I wasn’t nearly as nervous by the time it was my turn.

So hungry…

I’m starving. It’s 3:15 pm and I have AT LEAST an hour until it’s my turn. I wish my head didn’t hurt so much.

Got here at 12:30 like they told me to. I went through registration and paid my co-pay stuff. I was calm but a little nervous.

Then I was seated in a comfy recliner with a warm blanket over me. Vitals were taken and I got an IV placed in my arm.

And then the waiting started…it was 1:30 when the IV was placed and I’ve been bumped by a guy who will need a little over an hour for his procedure.

IMG_4489I think Jesse was jealous of my recliner.  At least they had free WiFi access and allowed us to use our iPhones in the waiting room.

There’s just so much Candy Crush Saga that a girl can play on an empty stomach.
