Endoscopy done, checking in to the hospital tonight!
So, I had my endoscopy done last night and have heard some pretty funny stories!
I have an absolutely terrible gag reflex. Apparently, when the doctor was trying to insert the scope, I started boxing! The nurse said I was trying to hit everyone and she had to pin my arms down! Fortunately, I do not remember any of this
Next, I hear that I was gagging so badly that they had a hard time actually performing the endoscopy. I ended up popping a blood vessel in my eye from the amount of coughing I did and my throat is so raw that I cannot even swallow without cringing. Note to self: endoscopies suck!
Since everything came back clear, I will be on my way to the hospital tonight after work. Surgery is tomorrow AM and I am soooooooooooooooooo nervous! I have all my liquids ready to go, my bag isn't packed yet but I have my list (procrastination at its finest), and hubby has taken the rest of the week off work to help me out.
Wish me luck! So excited to join the rest of you on the loser's bench!
