Its done.

So its done----the transfer I mean. After all my apprehensions, it turned out to be quite simple actually. I was on tenterhooks since yesterday evening......kind of wound-up from within. Tried my best to distract and did succeed a huge lot. But kind of broke down a bit late evening; salvaged myself soon enough though.

I had been asked to be fasting since morning today and arrive at the clinic on a full bladder. To do that, I woke up at 5am, finished my toilet visit and then drank a bottle of water and went back to a fitful sleep again. Woke at 7am with a screamingly full bladder :D Passed a lil urine, went to the clinic hoping the procedure would be done ASAp...but...Dr.P had been called away on an emergency and would be late!! Horror of horrors!! When the 'urge' became unberable again. spoke to Dr.S who said go to the toilet, we'll pump you with fluids later. So thats what I did......at 10:15 am.

Dr.P walked in at 10:45am. After the routine sonography, I was put on an IV line. That went on for about 15 mins. Then into the OT. The initial usg showed a bladder not quite full. So Another pint of glucose was hooked up and I was left on the table for a further 15 mins until my bladder would be full. That done, Dr.P and Dr.S took over , explained the procedure and told me they would 'induce' the anaesthetic and then do the needful while I was out cold. 10 mins would be the duration. My last thought before the anaesthetic took over was " I want to bounce back from the anaesthetic ASAP...."

The next thing I remember is being back in the recovery room with M next to me.It was just 1 pm. Exactly an hour from when I had been taken into the OT and 20 mins since the proc. started. In 5 mins I was smiling with glee and almost out of the anaesthesia induced state. In 20 mins I was sitting up , having some tea and biscuits and chatting with Dr.P and M.

By 3:30pm, we were given our final instructions and were on our way back to the guest house. Not bad......

Now , about how did I/ Do I feel throughout.....
Before the procedure, I felt a little apprehensive and a lot of discomfort coz of the full bladder.
Once in the OT, i did feel a sense of being panicked and a little scared.
Post-procedure, I felt a lot relieved- Thank God its over and behind me!! Almost euphoric!!

Now, its 8:10pm and I feel a little tired and the need to get some sleep. Thats all. No other difference.

Oh yes, one more thing. I feel a lot of false aches and pains, thanks to me keeping my muscles flexed and taut.....silly me!!

We leave for home tomorrow. It will be good to get back to my world.

Ciao for now.
