starsthatshineThank you everyone for keeping me in your thoughts. You're the sweetest flist ever :D The procedure was fairly simple and relatively painless. They gave me nitrous oxide so I didn't feel much but I did feel like I was absolutely parelized and that my head weighed like .... five hundred pounds and that my brain was being pressed together by the weight, which was a bit uncomfortable but after a while, you became used to it. And it hurt a little, but only when the syringe hit my muscle and that hurt like someone was pressing in needles into my skin. And it was uncomfortable when I felt my entire foot shake.
I talked all the time basically, because I felt uncomfortable when everyone was silent. My mother commented it like eight hundred times which I find... well, not so amusing because... they said I could talk and well... if you don't do anything, you spend your entire time thinking about what they are doing and then you can easily think about how you're feeling and then if you're then feeling a small sting, you can easily imagine it being much more painful.
But other than that, it was rather fun. I was given nitrous oxide after all ^^
Anyway, after the procedure I felt fine and I got up a bed they had prepared for me and gave me a ride to the ward and then I got to rest for a few minutes, then they came with a wheelchair and I was driven all the way to the parking lot with an ice-cream (it's mandatory when you're at the hospital). Needless to say, I felt like I was waay to comfortable when my mom drove the wheelchair and I sat there eating ice-cream. Which was awesome.
After that I went to lunch and then to the library and borrowed The Golden Compass (thought I'd give the books a chance). Then I went to the school conference. The problem is that when you've been sedated like that... you become really tired and I felt a bit... hazy. Oh well, it worked out well in the end after all.

Besides, if I talked, they knew that I wasn't in pain. Besides, being sedated like that was an uncomfortable experience. Kinda like flying. You have to surrender control and trust that they know what they're doing. Sort of. By talking, I felt more in touch with what was going on.
