I was all worried for nothing. ER was a piece of cake. The anesthesiologist was really bad at getting the IV in. She injects numbing medication and then tries. She tried my left wrist, then my left arm where they draw blood. Finally got it in my right wrist and it squirted blood everywhere. My whole hand was covered and dripping with blood. Crazy!Then she put me to sleep. When I woke up, I was in recovery across the hall. Only very mild cramping and no nausea. I was surprised at how fine I felt. I ate a snack then took a Vicodin. I was shaking really bad for about 10 minutes, but that eventually went away.They retrieved 17 eggs, but knew one was bad right away. They said it was black, which sounds really strange to me. So I have 16. We will find out how many we're mature and fertilized tomorrow.
