    I'm Looped

    Tomorrow I'm having a medical procedure done. I'm finally having endometrial ablation. That's girl stuff. Basically, the doctor will be killing the lining of my uterus. This procedure is normally done in the hospital but will be done in the doctor's office because my insurance won't pay the hospitals in my area.

    I wasn't nervous until I picked up the prescriptions they are making me take before the procedure. I have issues with taking several narcotics because they cause me to stop breathing. I've only had issues since weight loss surgery with pain meds. I had to start taking meds today. Hence the loopy part. I've got a scopolomine patch behind my ear and I'm on Darvocet right now. I feel all tingly.

    The nurse made me more nervous when she talked about the procedure and whether I was nervous about pain. I wasn't until she asked.

    Tomorrow I get to take some valium, tordal, darvocet, a cervical block and I'll also get an injection. I can't imagine how stoned I will be after that.

    I'm going to let you in on a secret. (I'm only doing this because of the drugs.) My secret is, that if I do ok during this procedure (they are worried about my pain tolerance), I'm having a mole removed from my hoo ha. I've needed it done for a long time, but it was never convenient. What a better time than the present? I can't believe I just told the entire internet about my mole. And no, I'm not posting pictures...or maybe after the drugs...NO, not gonna do it.

    I need to go to bed. I can't even make a complete sentence.
