Prep, Endo and Colonoscopy with POTS

The past few days I've been preparing to have some GI procedures done (Finally) to figure out what's up with my stomach these last couple of years. The prep was gross, but the procedure went fine. It's a lot of drinking of prep and fluids. But you do get to sleep for awhile under anesthesia.

Anesthesia was the only thing I was worried about with POTS. Considering my body likes to freak out randomly. I talked to the anesthesiologist and he actually knew about POTS! I was relieved. I did print out a sheet of info for him from DINET. It has a blurb about patients being on anesthesia and what they may need. Just in case.

Basically, they monitored me more than normal, put a heart monitor on me, and then gave me a bag of fluids afterwards to pep up my bp again. Then the rest of my day I spent sleeping and drinking fluids to replenish. 

I'm very proud of my body and it's ability to remain normal throughout this!
