So Friday was the day of my 2nd colonoscopy in my lifetime. We left at 10am to go to the hospital. Checked in, and went upstairs. My appointment was for 11:30, but they seemed to take me right away, although it was jammed pack with people in there! The nurse brought me back and had me change into a gown, then made me lie down and did my blood pressure, and then had a heck of a time putting the IV in, they always do. During this time I started shivering, by the time I left that area I had been given 3 hot blankets. The next nurse and her assistant brought me to the procedure room where my doctor was. They proceeded to put 2 more hot blankets on me, and still I was freezing. They were both trying to warm up my hands but to no avail, and they couldn’t get any readings so they ended up putting this thing on my forehead and giving me oxygen in my nose. I had asked for extra sedatives because the last time I woke up during it and didn’t want that to happen again. Before I knew it, it was over, and I was waking up. Or was I? Because honestly the rest of my Friday is pretty hazy and I don’t remember much of anything. I remember vaguely asking for apple juice, but don’t remember drinking it. I remember the nurse telling me to get ready, but have no clue how my clothes got on me. Supposedly they asked if I wanted my mom there, but I wouldn’t answer! Also, I had asked my parents to take a picture of me when I came out, and so supposedly my dad asked me if I still wanted to, but I don’t remember saying yes. My dad said he tried to make me smile but I just looked so mad and angry, I don’t remember this. I also have no clue how I got out of the hospital and in the car, my parents said I was in a wheelchair, again no recollection. Then I do remember saying I wanted to eat at Wendy’s, but after saying that I don’t remember going there or eating it. But supposedly I said I had to eat inside. Then I remember getting to my parent’s house and falling asleep, For how long, I’m not sure. I know when I woke up my stomach and chest were killing me! We tried to eat dinner, but I couldn’t eat much, and then I just waited for Darrell to come get me, and we went home.
