I've ben scoped!

So I have been blessed with a lovely stomach that hates me lately! If you recall some of my recent posts where I describe how I almost canceled my planned trip to the Outer Banks due to some serious stomach pains. I have already gone through an esophagram, which involved ingestion of copious amounts of chalky white liquid. That gave no indication of any problem.

Today I had a new experience ahead of me. Gastroscopy. This involves sedating the patient and inserting a tube with a camera down my esophagus, into my stomach and the upper part of my small intestine. What ever sedation they gave me seemed to knock me out pretty well. I vaguely remember gaging slightly as they inserted the tube then the next thing I recall was being wheeled out of the room as the nurse told me I was done. All I could think was... "What are you talking about, you didn't do anything!". After sedative wore off, I felt fine. Just a little tipsy, like I had drank one too many beers. Having not eaten breakfast this morning I was starving, so Brad (who drove me to the appointment) and I went to Denny's where I got a big breakfast (eggs, sausage, bacon, ham, hash browns and pancakes) where I proceeded to eat it all without leaving a single crumb on my plates. (!!!)

I have since felt a little tired but have experienced no pain what so ever. And to think, I was worried about how this would go! Let's hope they can figure out what the problem is now.
