That went well

stitchwhichWhen they said, "Twilight sleep", what they really meant was, "you're gonna be out cold". I remember being asked to lay on my left side and put some thingy in my mouth - and then I was being wheeled back to the recovery area. Really, the absolutely worst part of this whole thing was drinking that nasty 'first dose' stuff yesterday. Yeah, my throat is sore a bit, but other than that, it was fine. And thanks to Susie, I'd planned for the sore throat and have (yum) orange creamsicle sherbert/ice cream waiting for me in the freezer. Any excuse for that indulgence!
Which is good because I have to go in for an 'endoscopy ultrasound' some time soon. Don't know when yet, but there ya go. I asked why they were going to bother to do that since it was already obvious that they're going to remove the odd thing in my tummy when they take the gallbladder, but the doc just smiled and said that they'd really like to get a good look at it before they do the surgery. So there will be some interior pruning in my future. Hey, maybe I'll lose a little weight the easy way, yeah?
I'm going to sleep now. :)
[Additionally, I need to remember that after I've come home and slept, I WILL wake up feeling as if someone had been trying to shove a fence post down my throat. Next time, I ask about how to treat the terribly (now) swollen and uncomfortable throat. And I may have to hand off heralding this weekend. I am only croaking right now, not speaking. I'm glad I stocked the sherbert.:) ]
