Well I’m back at home from the retrieval. I don’t remember any of the procedure whatsoever. I was given twilight sedation, which makes you forget everything. I had never had sedation before so I was a bit concerned that I would somehow wake up during the procedure in psychotic pain. All I remember is being told to lie down on the procedure table, and the next thing I know, I’m sitting in the big comfy chair in the recovery room. When I was wheeled from the procedure room to recovery, my concerned husband told me that the nurse said that I’m a bit ‘drunk’. Looking a bit glassy-eyed and swaying from side to side, I then proceeded to proclaim that I would like to have a drink of rum (which I don’t consume, unless it’s in pound cake…yum). If there is anything I’ve learned about my experience this morning, it is that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DRUG!! If only I could take this during other uncomfortable life experiences, like waiting in line at the DMV.
Anyways, I digress. Recovery is moderately uncomfortable. I guess I’ve felt worse, but I’m on enough drugs to hopefully counteract the swelling and pain. The nurses will let us know tomorrow if this stage is a success.
