Last night went less then well, and I didn't even sleep all that well (imagine that). By the time we left for the center I was ready to have it done with.
They filled out all of the insurance paperwork and Pat waited until I got called to the back. He gave me a hug and kiss and said he would be back around 9. I got changed and they started an IV as I had to pee for another Pregnancy Test. The prep is very dehydrating and well I'll tell the story about last time another time.
They took the beginning statistics and I have to say I was stunned my blood pressure was 145ish/95ish. It has never been so high. The nurse tried to tell me that I may not feel nervous but I was. I told her I FELT nervous, terrified even. The Prep is the worst part but the sedation is no fun either.
I have to say this clinic was great not only do they give out blankets if you are cold (standard) they heat them! Because it was so cold in the procedure room they gave me another blanket strait out of the dryer or heater. How many blankets do they go through in one day? I think I used 4-5. They had teams of nurses to help out and one stayed through most of the waiting even though nothing was going on.
The only negative was having to sign paperwork with an iv in my right hand (I'm right handed). But they had to put the IV in the right hand and for some reason that paper work was not given right as I walked in. It's too bad as it hurt and my signature was sloppy and my hand hurt.
The procedure was apparently quick but really the important part is I do not remember a thing.
