I've been on complete edge for the last few weeks, anticipating the arrival date of my procedure. I was absolutely freaked out to put it kindly. I was also freaked that it may damper my Black Friday traditions of being a loon and staying up all night fighting for good deal and spending some QT with my mom and sister.
Let me just say, all my fears were deminshed pretty quickly! They gave me the pamphlet and it really just scared me more. I looked up the procedure (Even on youtube...BAD DECISION!) and searched for reviews. As of right now (almost a week after) I am doing pretty darn great. I have no discomfort at all and am excited for 2012. Bring on the baby makin!
Pretty much the worst part was the anticipation before the procedure. The day of, I was sore and the day after I was just a little off. By the third day, I was truckin along!
They gave me a Xanax before, which by the way, DID NOT relieve my anxiety. I tried to tell them that. Mostly I think they gave it to me so I wouldn't fight back. :) Then I get on the table and they adminsitered a shot in 4 locations. The 1 spot kind of hurt (and I hate needles) but by the time she was at the 2nd or 3rd spot, I was good. When she preformed the actual procedure, I only felt like she was preforming a pap but I had no discomfort. The only time it hurt was with the forceps.
Moral of the story is, Im SO GLAD I didn't change my appointment (again, I know, Im bad). And Im also glad that this is behind me for right now. If I have to do this again, I will at least know what I am standing against.
Thanks for the kind thoughts and prayers, yall.
