Hi everyone,
Me again
. So I'll try to update you from after I posted. I never got a return call from the endoscopy unit. My husband came home immediately (it usually takes him 15 minutes, but it only took about 12). I was so weak and in pain. He packed the kids and everything up, we went to drop them off, and we went in for my appt a bit early. I'm a little peeved that I never got a very good answer. (well nothing more than a guess). It could have been dehydration, a sudden drop in BP, or sugar...all of which you guessed. Maybe I overreacted a bit, but I was laying here abolutely alone with a young child running around, a one screaming in their crib.
So I had to wait for my colonoscopy appt time, but it all seemed to be quite a quick process (compared to other aspects of Ontario healthcare). I was done 1 1/2 hours after my appt time. Because of my symptoms in the morning, they gave me extra sedation, so I was awake, but wasn't...it was fab seeing as last time I was completely with it and felt every puff of air, every biopsy snip, and the scope moving about. I think I remember hearing that things inside weren't too bad, but I have to wait until my May 5th GI appt to find out (the sad thing is I usually have to wait 2 hours at one of those appts.)
Anyway, I really can't tell you how much I appreciate everyone on this forum. I was in a tough spot and you were all there for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!
