1. Pregnancy Test (can't go under if I'm pregnant)
2. Questions, asthma history last ,back story of the aspirated on the table in January, age, and if I think I am pregnant, date last period, blah blah.
3. blood pressure/ temp
4. I.V. (ouch)
5. Couple min. later I am lead down a hallway
-In the OP room I lay on this table that almost resembles a massage table with the head rest deal. I lay on my stomach, put my face in the head rest, they put an oxygen tube around my face and the little tiny tubes go up my nose a little. They start the oxygen tell me to breath deep to calm down. I am asked to life my shins to have a bolster set under, then the Anesthesiologist tells me I am going to a far away beach..Mmmhhm sure..1...2...3.... OUT
-Next thing I am aware of is that I will be (hopefully) without an asthma attack coming back from the sedation. Seeing Nurse Cool there (yup that's her REAL last name) I am asked if I want some water or a cookie. (she always has cookies..lol) I either nod my head yes or know and then she calls in Eric and the family. Waits a few more minutes and I wobble out to the car and crash on the bed once I get home.
SIDE-NOTE- This is what the "norm" is. Last time it was a LOT different since I aspirated I had to go to the Hospital, and also stay the weekend because my lungs filled with fluid. I was give tons and tons of Antibiotic to clear any and all infection from occurring in my lungs (because of foreign matter being swallowed and back into my lungs). I made it out Sunday afternoon but please. Don't make me go through this again. Eric said that when he gets home tonight we will do a prayer. I am at ease. Not sure how I will fee tomorrow. Wish me luck! It just sucks because it's usually done early Saturday morning so I just found out that it won't be the same anesthesiologist so I have to re-tell my story AND this one is tomorrow.. A Friday. Eric has to leave by 2:00pm for work so I am hoping that I will not be in the Hospital...again. Pray pray pray..
