My Procedure Went Well

I just thought I would write an update on my procedure. I have to say, propofol is such a nice way to be anesthetized. I didn't even get to countdown I just went out and woke up when it was over. I had no hangover, very little drowsiness, and no side effects. Frankly, if this was what they used for knee surgery I would get my knees replaced.
Anyway, all went well, the doctor thanked me for doing a good prep, it did make me wonder if many people don't follow the directions.
I had one small polyp removed and it has been sent out to be biopsied. I will get the results in 10-14 days. The doctor said he was 98% sure it was benign. He said if it is, he will see me in 7-10 years. lol I suspect he won't .
Thank you for the prayers. Hubs and I left the hospital and went out to lunch and I can honestly say it was one of the best meals in a long time. I guess being hungry really makes food taste good.

@BelleStarr That's good. I'm still waiting for the authorization from the insurance company for the medication.

I respond similarly to every other anesthetic that I have tried this one is a real treat.
