I rule.
Ok, so, I felt like utter crap. I couldn't feel my fingers...I couldn't even walk, really...and standing just made me feel like I was going to pass out. On top of all of that...I was so dehydrated that I couldn't even swallow...and that was giving me loads of anxiety.
It felt like forever as I waited to be called...but I had a nice conversation with a couple other women who were in for the same thing. I had Slush with me every step of the way, and he was quite a hit.
I got into the room and Dr. Fintel was in there already. I told her about the tingling in my fingers, and she discovered that the little machine wasn't reading my pulse...soooo...she ordered IV fluids for me and I was ever so grateful. I got the sedative and got half knocked out. I stayed awake the entire time, and there was a little bit of discomfort, but I hugged Slush tightly and got through it. Actually, it was really really easy and I felt pretty good afterwards.
And, it appears that everything looks good, so there will be no changes in my meds! Huzzah!
I could do this again tomorrow and it would be no big deal. (Well....that might kinda suck....a lot...but next time it won't be so bad.)
The upside of the whole starving-myself-for-a-day thing: I lost a couple pounds! Maybe I'll keep them off, probably not...but I might try.
I'm tired as heck, and my stomach still hurts bit soooo...I'm gonna go sleep for a couple hours before Dad gets home and we can light the candles.
Er...House is on...maybe I won't sleep.
