Yesterday, the day I've been dreading for a month finally came. I had to have an endoscopy performed since I've taken Prilosec for a good 5 years. This is what happens when you get a new doctor. They ask you questions and start sending you for tests and procedures!!
I did tell the nurse (when asked about previous surgeries) "I've had 2 jaw surg....I mean I've had 2 C-sections and ONE jaw surgery." She found that quite amusing and reminded me when she had to ask if I was wearing dentures that I DID have two jaw surgeries, afterall, so I might need dentures at an early age.
Well, it really wasn't so bad. Many people at church told me I would be so drugged up I wouldn't care. They were right!! I did have two polyps in my stomach that he removed. He said that tends to happen from taking Prilosec for so long.
I do remember walking through the waiting room afterwards and watching a lady giggle at me. When we were in the parking lot I was walking sort of funny, so Steve held my hand. For some reason I kept trying to walk to the right when the car was to the left.
Steve drove to Chick-Fil-A afterwards to get me an Oreo cookie milkshake. I went home and slept for six hours (which is exactly what the nurses told Steve to expect) and then thought I was good for the day.
I offered to make pizza for supper and then I was suddenly very tired. Steve made the pizza and we all watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail fast-forwarding through the Castle of Anthrax because we want the boys to remain innocent as long as possible. The boys thought it was hilarious!!
After the movie, I went back to bed thinking I'd take a nap. I woke up at 11 when Steve came to bed and then slept until 8AM. Today I think I'm back to normal. But, I'm not allowed to drive for a couple more hours (or make important decisions, sign important documents).
So, I probably should have blogged about this procedure when I came home yesterday. That would have REALLY been interesting. |
