made it back from the surgery. I don't know what was different in this iv sedation than the last one but the first dose didn't even faze me so they did it again and now I can't wake up. Blech. Other than that I'm fine. some mild irritation from the G.E.R.D but no giant holes in the stomach or esophagus. So that's good. I expected that given how much medication I take to prevent such things. I'll go back in a few weeks to talk to him. thanks for the well wishes.
