Had my biopsy

I had my biopsy on Tuesday, it was not a pleasant experience, but it is done. The anesthesiologist would not do a conscious sedation, he said it was too risky for me so I had to choose either general anesthesia or spinal block. I chose general, mostly to get over my fear of it. Turns out I would have had to have it in the middle of the procedure - my ob/gyn said  no way could I have gone thru it without being "knocked out". Apparently, my cervix is hiding on my pubic bone. No wonder he couldn't see it in clinic. He only did the biopsy and that took him 45 mins to get. I don't think he wanted me under any longer. As it is, I woke up with almost no voice and a really sore throat. And an extremely sore urethra - apparently he had to push it and the bladder out of the way  and whatknot. It got so irritated, I couldn't pee until Wed. evening and they had to put a catheter in for a few hours Wed morning. I hope to never, ever have to have that done again. 

I also had low oxygen sats, probably from the anesthesia. Even now, they are not great at home (I have a finger monitor) and I'm dizzy and stumbling around when I walk. Like I'm drunk, but I'm not. Will call his office tomorrow if a good sleep doesn't help.

I acted like an idiot when I came out of the anesthesia - told them when they were transferring me from OR table to stretcher that I wanted to go home. My doctor was beside me and said no. I kept saying I wanted to go home. When they parked the stretcher in Recovery, I starte inching down toward the foot. My dr saw and blocked it off. When he and the nurses moved out to the middle of the room, I pulled myself real fast (using the bars on the bed) and slipped off the end. Someone saw me and yelled out and they all came running, including my dr and they caught me. I kept saying I wanted the AMA papers to sign. My dr said he couldn't legally release me. Oh man, did I feel like an idiot the next day! I spent the next two days apologizing to any who were involved when they came in the room.

I  have to make a follow up appointment in 2 weeks, but  he said he will call me with the results if he gets them before then. His resident told me he may not have got a good enough sample. I hope to heck he did. He did not do anything else - no PAP, not hysteroscopy or D&C. I think he wanted out of there because I had been under for so long when I have risk factors. It upsets me because of my history. Going to make a list of questions to ask at the follow up.
