"Milk of amnesia"

The hospital called today to see how I was feeling and I told them about the shortness of breath and she said it could be from the Fentanyl that they also give when they knocked me out with the Propofol that would make since, since my breathing has improved some each day now ...still going to the allergist for sure ...just thought I would update :-)
I also guess its normal to be forgetful after the propofol, I just read this on wikipedia

**Due to its amnestic effects and appearance as a white liquid, propofol has been humorously dubbed "milk of amnesia" by health workers.**

So its also normal to be a loopy afterwards and forget !!!!!! Ahhh I am not crazy yeah !!! I find myself having to ask Randy about stuff after wards or he will tell me stuff then I will be like oh yeah I remember that now ..
I always wake up so happy from the propofol its wierd to think that Michael Jackson woke up that way everyday nice that he would of been happy but goodness how did he ever remember anything :-/ YIKES !!!!
By the way my breathing is still not as good as before but its not as bad as it was Friday... I am continuing to do my advair and plan to keep using it until my esophagus problem is taken care of and I am not having to go in every month and have procedures I really wanted to get my self off as it is very expensive almost $200 a month and we will have to meet our deductible again at the beginning of the year..I really just don't have a choice, I feel like I could die when I am having trouble breathing and its not a good feeling...
