EGD Tomorrow!! SCARED!

I'm a wuss when it comes to not knowing how something feels or what to expect. I've never had any surgery nor been put to sleep. I have no idea what to expect and am scared what If I don't fall asleep all the way and every possible worse case lol.

I had mine today too. Was so quick, I got the IV the O2 and told to lie on my side and I remeber seeing the Dr with the endoscope and then I was out. I really thought I would feel something like the propofol going in or something. Then I woke up, my mom was with me when I woke up and she said I was talking to her a few minutes before, but I have no recollection of that, I hope I didn't say anything weird...LOL. Then we left. I was really unsteady, I now know why they make you have someone take you home, I never would have made it on my own. I went back to sleep for like an hour when I got home because I was so tired. I actually still feel a little groggy when I stand up, but nothing bad. My throat is a teeny bit sore, but nothing horrible. Only thing I am kind of annoyed about is that a couple minutes ago I noticed that they hadn't taken the EKG pads off me. I had assumed they did and was so out of it never noticed. So I just took them off and I have red marks from them. I wish they had told me that they did not take them off.

Haha yes, I remember right before I feel asleep she said "Now I'm not going to take off your EKG Pads, because you men tend to get excited when ur sleeping and feel that." I laughed and ripped them off when I was changing back into my shirt when leaving.
