We arrived for my screening at about 10am.
We got taken back to the individual waiting room a bit after 10:26. I know it was after that, because John and I laughed about making sure we were early for the 10:15 arrival time. :)
My nurse was Janine. Not certain of spelling, but close enough. I don't recall my nurse anesthetist's name. But both of them were super nice.
A little before noon, Janine took me to the endoscopy room. A little after noon, my NA put the sedation into my IV. She warned me that it would feel like burning. She wasn't wrong. Felt like HEAVY burning. Very unusual feeling. I remember saying, 'you're right, ouch, ouch, ouch'. Then I woke up at about 1pm. All finished.
Janine helped me to my waiting room. John came and Janine went over my discharge stuff. No driving/machinery for 24 hours. and help with walking and stairs until I am stable. Food as tolerated. YAY food!
John went and got the truck, and Janine wheeled me out in a wheelchair. It's a beautiful day, she wanted to go outside. :)
We went to my work, to get my schedule. Then we went to Bomgaars to look at chicks. I wanted to look at them. They're cute.
Then we came home. I'm doing fine. I've had a milkshake like my brother, whose birthday it is today, and I used to make when we were doing dishes. In honor of it being his birthday. :D
Also got apple sauce and well chewed beef jerky.
Now I'm sitting on the sofa, feeling pretty good about having managed 'middle aged adulting'!
