medical update

Just had an awful few days preparing for an invasive medical procedure, but the sedatives are wearing off and I'm finally allowed to eat again. They found two polyps, one of concerning size. Now I'm waiting for biopsy results on that. Even if it's cancerous, that would hopefully mean it was removed so early that I'm already cancer-free again. Still, it would also mean I'm at an elevated risk for this sort of thing, so I should start getting screened regularly. Which is unfortunate, because I'd really like to never go through that again.

The sedation was odd. I was told I'd be out cold for the whole thing, but instead I dreamily watched the monitor showing my insides.  I was super relaxed but alert. My memory is spotty, even the ride home is a bit of a blur. The nurses remarked that I'd recovered extra fast. I was a little wobbly, but a wheel chair? No, just get me the hell out of here.

I'm so glad it's over. Well, mostly. Still waiting on those biopsy results.
