I think the worse part of it all was getting the IV. They never seemed to bother me before, but the nurse missed the first time, then her second try she thought she got it but it ended up blowing out. The area got super swollen and hard so she took it out and got the anesthesiologist to put it in......and he missed the first one too! dang. FINALLY the fourth one worked. When he did it, he decided to switch arms. He had to cut off my ID bands. I kept seeing the nurse walking around with a cool looking lime green bracelet (they were the pediatric ID bands), so I figured since they had to cut my old plain white one that I asked them for a green one! Made the whole IV thing better! =) I was the only adult getting surgery that day.
Back to relaxing =)
