On Tuesday May 24 i had an upper Endoscopy procedure done. I am always so nervous before any procedure or surgery,I get anxiety really bad. So i told the nurse and they were all so nice. They started it at 7:45am. I believe my nurse gave me something for the anxiety and the sedative for the procedure. I am going to tell you as soon as it kicked in i was out like no tomorrow. I read up on it and sometimes people are slightly awake for this. Kasey told me some funny things when i started coming too. I guess the Dr came in to talk about the results and tried to talk to me and i was so not coherent, mumbling etc, i have no memory of seeing the Dr after. Kasey relayed the info to me. The Dr told me before that I do for sure have a brand new diaphragmatic hernia over to the far left and a belly button hernia. We talked about surgery and at the moment my mind is going over it"I do not want surgery at all but mostly not now". He said we would talk more later. After the upper endoscopy the DR told Kasey I have gastritis and it could mimic the pain i thought i was having from the diaphragmatic hernia. I was put on two medications for 30 days. So far i have been pain free. The Dr said i could live w the hernia for now. Because we want to have more kids pregnancy just weakens my diaphragm, he said i would increase my risk of another surgery if we repaired it now. So we will just have to see how things go.....Ok now i am going to tell you the funny parts. They should have let me come more too before they sent me on my way. I couldn't even stand up so the nurse had me wheeled out in a wheel chair. These two cute little grannys wheeled me to the lobby, i remember. I asked if i could take my soda w me. When we got to the lobby i just dropped it and soda was everywhere so they had to clean it up first. My sister watched Faith and she said she couldn't understand what i said, I was slurring my words. It was Kasey Birthday and he was playing videos on is phone of his nieces and nephews singing him happy Birthday. I remember asking him if it was my birthday, but than remembered right after why did i ask that. I told Kasey I just couldn't stay awake. I woke up at noon and i felt great. I have never been so out of it before, yikes, i felt so silly after. But i said lets go to lunch for your birthday and we did. It really wasn't that bad. Poor Kasey on his birthday. He is such a good husband.

Man, no fun!! I'm glad you can see the humor in those situations, though. I'm usually the person on the other end, like Kasey, and I just get to laugh at the poor person coming out of treatment. :) I'm not sure what I'd do if it were me on the other side...
