Anesthesia

I am happy to report that it's been three days and I have not had a bad reaction to the anesthesia I received for my ultrasound on July 2nd. The anti-nausea pre-meds did their job. What an absolute relief. And it was also quite a relief to not have the kind of next-day-pain that I had following my last ultrasound. Good things.

And it is still so strange to suddenly open my eyes and realize I am back in the recovery room waking up and the procedure is complete.

And that reminds me, I keep thinking of how weird it will be when I wake up to a stoma poking out of my abdomen and into a plastic bag. THAT is going to be WEIRD. Oh well. I imagine once it's all said and done, I'll have maybe a little something to say about it.
