Procedure Done

Ok, first off, I have tried switching over to the new blogger, but it keeps telling me it can't switch me. I'll have to let guru figure it out.

So, yesterday was the day I had my upper endoscopy done. I was pretty nervous before hand. I wasn't sure what to expect. I had never been put under anesthesia before, so I didn't know how I would react to it. I was mostly nervous about knowing what was going on during the procedure. Everything I read said that I wouldn't be completely out, so I could cooperate with the doctor, but would not remember anything after it was over.

Well, they gave me pain meds through an I.V. and also some med. to make me sleepy (and forget after). I think I slept through most of it, but I do remember being aware a couple of times of something in my throat and gagging! NO FUN! But, it did go by really quickly, and when I was done, I woke up pretty fast. I was very tired for the rest of the day though. I took a 3 hour nap when I got home. It was kind of nice.

It turns out I have a hiatal hernia. They also took a biopsy or two of some red spots they found in my esophogus. The Doc didn't seem to be too concerned about them, just that I may need to take some antibiotics. I'm not sure what is going to be done about the hernia condition. She didn't mention anything about needing sugery for it or anything. At least yet.

So that was my day yesterday. How about you?
