However, I was sedated with versed. I remember nothing after the IV went in. I then remember awakening, feeling just fine, as I asked why they kept telling me, "No driving for 24 hours." 24 hours after that, I remember only THAT. Apparently, after I got dressed, I was wheeled out of the hospital and to the curb of the front entrance, where I was assisted into my friend's car. She drove me to her place and we had a glorious dinner with 'great conversation.' My hubby then came to pick me up and take me home. Yep--24 hrs after awakening from the procedure, I absolutely have NO recollection of that glorious evening that I was told about on the next morning. No wonder why they told me not to drive for 24 hrs. That gap of amnesia from post-procedure to the next morning, in retrospect, was scary. My friend stated that I was completely lucid, appropriate, and coherent during that entire evening. Interesting, when my hubby had his colonoscopy, he also lost several hours of post-procedure memory--something that gets 'discovered' by the 'former patient' by the next morning. When he kept asking, "Why are you telling me I won't remember this evening in the morning?" I responded, "You'll find out!" True to form, he never remembered me asking him that question the next morning! Post-sedation amnesia....hopefully not for 10 more years, though!Kylenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756088464687316779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2960598349901004178.post-7439598313437613592011-08-01T14:43:39.069-07:002011-08-01T14:43:39.069-07:00Glad the result was good, Lyn.

My doctor gave me photos of the pink interior of my colon to keep which was a weird doctorly thing to do...Naominoreply@blogger.com
