When I came to, I could hear a lot of chatting from other people. I was wondering why they were so alert and chatty, I was so tired! Of course, they probably had a different procedure than I did.
There were a lot of firsts for me in this colonoscopy. I’ve never had an IV before, I don’t think I’ve had an anaesthetic before, and I had a little nostril oxygen thingy too.
And then, the abrupt change I put in this comic is similar to what I experienced. The last thing I remember is asking what program their child went to at university. It was so weird how I can recall nothing in between.

At least you recognized that you were in a different room. Somehow I failed to do that.
It took me a bit to realize I was in a different room. I had to think, “I’m sure there was a wall in front of me, as opposed to this curtain.” 😀
