We woke up
refreshed that morning, and Justin went downstairs and had what he described as
an “amazing” breakfast while I was upstairs in our room getting ready.
We swooped
by the pharmacy at 9:55, picked up the antibiotic which was packed in very well
with ice, then we eared-back on the toll road to Medical City. I have no idea how we did it, but we were 20
minutes early! We got up to the doctor’s
office, and they took us back and gave me a “cute” hospital gown to change in
to.
The
anesthesiologist came in and started searching for a vein for my IV. Bless his heart. I have the smallest and fewest veins on the
planet. But he was determined. And he dug and dug and dug, until neither of
us could take it any longer. Finally, he
ended up inserting it into my left hand.
I went back
to the ice cold operating room, I climbed up on the little table, and he
started the medicine through my IV. I
remember him telling me that he didn’t want to put it into my hand because the
medicine “aches” when going through the tiny hand veins. And it did.
We were talking about traffic and construction and then, in less than a
minute, I was out.
I woke up
about 30 minutes later with some mild cramping, but for the most part, feeling
good- especially compared to my horrible, extensive surgery two years prior. They gave me a little medicine through my IV
for pain, and a grape Capri Sun since I was incredibly thirsty. I later found out that this was the same
anesthesia medicine that Michael Jackson overdosed on, which freaked me out
just a little.
And… Great
News!! The endometriosis had not
returned, only the cyst. Dr. Saleh was
able to aspirate it with the super long needle, and then he injected the
antibiotic to keep cysts and endometriosis away while we go through IVF. But, the best news- we are free to continue
on to the next step, and we do not have to wait 6-8 weeks!!!
On the way home, we stopped quickly to pick up movies and Chinese food, and made it to the house in time for me to eat about 5 bites, see about 3 minutes of American Hustle, and then fall sound asleep.
