The Loft: Butches and Femmes in their 40s, 50s and over.

Good morning lofters!

sooooooooooooooooo had the procedure done on wednesday. I kind of get a kick out of the anesthisia teams everytime they put me under. They ask me.."ever had problems with anesthesia before?" my answer is always... my blood pressure runs low with it.

Apparently, they never believe me because they always wake me up with a "boy! you weren't lying!" and this time.. I had to be medicated to get my blood pressure to come up a bit. My syst. number fell down to 50. They didn't say how low the actual b/p went, but when the upper number falls to 50, they get scared.

Anyway... they have discovered a small peptic ulcer, not large enough to be causing the extreme iron defiency nor the falling hemoglobin, but they also discovered a fissure... so... it's back to the surgeon.

I hate being put under, hate the feeling...my last concious thought is always, "please God, make sure I wake up". I hate the feeling that invokes.

I also hate the time it takes for me to get over being anesthesized.

I hope everyone there has an awesome time in LR, and I hope everyone else has an awesome weekend!! Take care,

Lissa
