.... around and around without any cares....
Today was my colonoscopy. E, T and I left at 1:15, only had to make 3 pit stops for me. Got to the hospital, found the Endoscopy place, checked in. Then went to the pre-procedure/ recovery. I stripped down into a gown, took everything but my socks off. They took my vitals, then a nurse came to start an IV. She hit a valve, so a different nurse came to start it, and she put this on top of my right wrist. We waited a little while longer, and that's when I started to get nervous. Finally they came to get me.
They wheeled me into the colonoscopy room, and the nurses were really nice. They told me to get comfortable on my side like how I would be sleeping. So I did, she put in the anesthesia... and I drifted. But then I could hear they're voices, and it kept hurting in certain spots. I tried to open my eyes, tried to tell them it was hurting, but I couldn't, I think they may have given me more stuff, because then I could hear E and T talking before I could open my eyes. It took a little while to open them.
After I was awake, the nurse brought me some ice water - which never tasted so good. I was so out of it. The doctor came and told me my colon looks fine, but they took some stuff to do biopsies on. I knew he came, but I had to ask my brother three times before I remembered. Then it was time to go, I made my way to the bathroom really quick. Because they filled me up with air, I've been seriously gassy, not smelly gassy - thanks god.
We went to Perkins, I got a bowl of chicken noodle soup. We drove home and I was finally awake by the time we were a half hour from Livingston. Went home, E and T left to return movies and pick up her car. Eric stopped and got me a hot fudge sundae from DQ - which was really sweet. Now, me and my raw bum are going to bed.
