We had the first appointment and my sweet husband dragged me out in the wee early hours of the morning to the Piney Surgical Center. We were one of three couples getting started this morning. I was nervous. Before today, I had never been under anesthesia before. I've seen way too many YouTube videos of people under the influence!
When we got there, I answered a ton of questions, had my IV started and chit chatted with the doctor and nurses a bit. Then they walked me to the procedure room. The table is exactly as I imagined, hard and cold! They put some oxygen on me and told me I would start to feel sleepy. Yep, that's the very last thing I remember. Next thing I know I'm waking up in the recovery room with my Mike by my side. I was still feeling "silly" and really, really good. I mean GOOD! I said an embarrasing thing or two.
So I know I've got to do this again when retrieval comes around. Maybe I can bring some duck tape for the mouth.
