I'm doing science, and I'm still alive
Jun. 26th, 2009 11:40 amWell, my endoscopy was a lot easier than I thought it would be, and I'm grateful.
I was treated professionally and kindly by the staff at LDS Hospital, who had me in and out in under three hours. The most painful part of the procedure was when they injected the sedative, which stung like a bean sĂdhe, but in less than 30 seconds I was "somewhere else".
After what seemed like 5 minutes it was, "OK, we're all done." I dozed in recovery for about 15 minutes, my son came and got me, and I'm home feeling no worse for wear other than just a little drowsy. Had a light breakfast, and plan on taking a nap.
Things look pretty good, they stretched out my stricture, and I should have the results of the cellular biopsy in about 5 days.
My thanks to all my kind well-wishers for their thoughts and prayers.
