Exactly a week ago, I went thru the maa mapping process and it wasn't too terrible. It was done as an outpatient, and they coiled off 12 blood vessels and that process took 2 1/2 hours. All together from the time I checked in and checked out, it took approx 7 1/2 hours. I was not sedated totally (forgot what they called it), but was awake as they tell you to take deep breaths during the procedure. I was given Versed, Phentenal & delaudid. I started getting really sick feeling when I was coming down, so they had to give me some zofran in my iv when I was put in recovery and they kept me there for 2 hours. The next 2 days I felt awful, like I had the flu and chemo at the same time, I took my vicodin and just layed around, and on the 3rd day, I started feeling better, and on the 4th day even better. I am a candidate for sir-spheres and will be having the procedure done on my right side next week, and I can't wait !! Then we will see what happens, and do my left side. I have learned, one step at a time.
Eric - how is Caryn doing ?
