Got my 2nd PM that day. Boring while waiting in the room, no food since that morning early. Lady who did the IV is an angel. did not even feel it. Now they finally came to get me. The nurse did all the stuff to prepare me. I told her I WANT DRUGS for this. They laid me out and covered my face a bit, turned up the oxygen to double, and gave me a wee drug in the IV. She had to do another. :-) The Doc came in and started the alcohol scrub down [I was green down to my chest!]. He then began a series of shots to KILL the pain. Not to complain but I needed a shot to kill the pain of those shots. In nothing flat [I was asleep by then] I was back in my room. Lunch consisted of Peanut Butter crackers and a Sprite. Seems at one point they gave me insulin. May have been earlier when I got there? I was due by noon....I have some photos I will post either today or tomorrow. My WIFI is acting naughty. They put a HUGE thing of clear plastic like tape it left something like burns all around under it.

I had a pacemaker when I was 11. I never once thought I wasn't a 'normal kid' nor was I ever treated differently because of it. I could do everything all my friends were doing; I just happened to have a battery attached to my heart to help it work.
Next time

Next time have them put the knockout drug in the IV. That is, if you have an IV. At least in the area I'm in, in the US, they put in an IV almost immediately.
Last time for me I had this very attractive lady hovering around me after the IV was inserted. Next thing I know the doctor was asking me what color T-shirt my spouse wore so he could talk to her in the waiting room. I've mentally labeled her the "Assassin" as I never saw it coming.
