Post-endoscopy haze

I went in for an endoscopy at Mt. Auburn Hospital this morning. I remember everything up until the point where I was told to lie on my side and the doctor delivered the sedatives, and everything right after I woke up in the recovery area. Everything in between was an eerily missing chunk of my memory, as though I went to sleep right away and woke up naturally and not groggy. Getting off the bed was like standing up suddenly after you've been lying down for a long time.

[livejournal.com profile] chenoameg picked me up and drove me home, and I've been sipping ginger ale since ([livejournal.com profile] purplerecluse cleverly pointed out its existence). Doctors orders are to make no major decisions until tomorrow, so maybe I won't be able to work on anything meaningful today.

A few minutes ago the phone rang with a prerecorded message about satellite TV. The woman said to press one to talk to a rep, but for fun I hit the pound key, and got a lovely "your number has been removed from our system" message. Whee!
