Well, I didn't get put under for my colonoscopy and upper endoscopy - but as the drugs continue to wear off, I am remembering less and less about what went on. It's weird because I feel fine after the tests, but have no hand grip and slurred speech. My brother is enjoying making fun of me since I'm staying at my mom's house today.
So funny story.. well, two of them.
As some of you might remember, I have huge needle phobia. They started to put the IV in and I was already laying down because I pass out when I'm sitting up. Well, I passed out laying down - which I didn't think was possible since no blood is rushing away from your head. Guess my head must have been slightly elevated or something. The nurse didn't believe it until my eyes rolled back into my head. Freaked her out too.. made my day.
Second funny story...
During my colonoscopy, it hurt so bad that they couldn't finish it. She got far enough to take some biopsies, but didn't get all the way. I guess what tipped her off that it was hurting was my screaming and swearing. LOL At one point, the nurse told me to keep it down cuz others could hear me. Quite frankly, I didn't really care. I was drugged and couldn't quite control my temporary torrets (sp?) syndrome. LOL
The upper endoscopy was a piece of cake compared to the colonoscopy! Don't even remember much of that. Just thought I'd share my funny stories about driving the hospital staff nuts.
