All is Well
So I survived my colonoscopy yesterday! The hardest part was definately the prep. I don't ever want to have to do that again! I was REALLY cold and had a terrible headache. They said that was because my blood sugar was really low, because I was 'cleaning out'.
We got in pretty much on time. They started my IV about 12:30. Then at 1pm they took my back to the procedure room, where they gave me the sedation. I was out in a matter of secs That was the nicest part.The DR said for the most part everything came back normal. I don't remember much of the day. Carl said I threw up a little bit of water in the recovery room and then passed more gas. The nurses said if I did that more I would feel a lot better. All I remember is it HURT really bad when I stepped off the bed in the recovery room. The pressure in my side was painful. but I didn't have my headache anymore. I slept the rest of the day.
I took today off. I'm still really gasy and sore. I don't want to miss anymore time off work. It's hard for me to take time off. Part of that is because I really like my job. Robyn has been wonderful about the whole thing!
Carl has too. He called work for me yesterday. He has missed a lot of time too. He has done a very good job for me! I don't know where I would be without him. I know I am grumpy when I dont feel good, because I just want to be able to do the things I normally do.
So where do we go from here?! I guess just another follow up with Dr. Freburg. Then we'll see.
Oh on Sept 14 Carl and I met in the MTC 11 years ago!!
