The surgery center was an unusual experience yesterday. I had to fill out all this paperwork that was a bit unnerving. Living will and next of kin type stuff...
When it was my turn, I was pretty nervous while the nurse put in the IV and wheeled me into the room. They rolled me onto a table on my stomach with pillows under my hips to put my ass in the air. I'm naked now and feeling about as comfortable as a puppy on his last day in the pound. All these machines and gizmos.. The IV, heart monitor, other stuff attached, I can't see much more than the floor from my position, but there are at least 3 people in the room. One of the nurses asked me how I was doing. I'm sure it was obvious I was a bit nervous.
"Your arm is going to feel a little cold."
Then, BAM!!! The drugs hit and I relaxed a bit. Quite a bit.
I was conscious during the cortizone shot and when the doctor manipulated my right sacrem joint but don't remember much. It was fast. Then they wheeled me to another room to come down. Francis had my car and picked me up.
Weird.
Today was a good day. I think the visit yesterday helped. I got a massage then spent the evening riding around top down with Tim in the galaxie around Colfax Broadway and LoDo. It was fun.
I would like to post some pics, but I'm having trouble getting it together. Maybe someone will help me at the genius bar tommorow.
