Worried Life Blues

Hey NC - long time no talk but I just saw your post about the endoscopy and wanted to comment. First good luck!!! I hope everything turns out to be just fine.

I had one a few years back and they gave me some pretty heavy sedation. I was in NO shape to drive for the entire rest of the day, that's for sure. I remember waking up, fighting falling asleep and talking really incoherently for about 45 minutes, then them saying I was OK to go (me thinking umm, really??).. then H helping me to the car, and sleeping the rest of the day.

I don't know if you'll be quite as out of it, but in case you are, it'd really be better if you had a trusted person who could drive you home as opposed to a taxi. Are you sure no friends or coworkers could help out on short notice? Neighbors maybe? People need rides to places all the time... you'll be able to return the favor!

If you do have to go the taxi route, maybe you can tell the facility ahead of time that you need to be pretty wide awake before you can leave for that reason.

Good luck!
