MY EGD STORY

Started out R- U - F - F, rough!

couldnt have anything to eat or drink from midnight the night before & it was scheduled for 1:30 pm...kinda cruel,  huh?

So, we get there and i get into the little gown, the nurse comes in and looks at my veins..and asks 'where are they??' I told her good luck...when I worked at Kemet years ago, I never had to take the yearly drug test, they could never find  a vein. Took 3 nurses 45 minutes and them using a brand new gadget right outta the box to find my veins. They got the iv started and around 3!!!!! I finally get wheeled back to the next room where they put this rubber mouthpiece around my neck with velcro that smells like CHOCOLATE! And the room smelled like Coffee...UGH!!! I was about to chew someones finger if I could get close to one! All I remember is the nurse kept asking my full name and what procedure I was having done and she said she would continue to ask me that throughout...whatever, ..i dont remember any more of it...I woke up during some part of it and was coughing and gaging...that thing HURT and was burping some HUGE 'from-the-bottom-of-your-belly' burps. I said something and went back to sleep...someone was patting my hand telling me how great I was doing....whatever, i was doped up and feeling fine! I finally wake up in recovery...looked up at Randall and asked where he'd been....went home and went to sleep till about 9...had to get up and take 4 shakes back to back to get my protein in before i went back to bed around 11 and slept so good all night. When I got up at 9, Randall had some stories to tell! Apparently, I kept the whole recovery room amused for a good half hour. He said Dr Bour came out and found him to take him to me...Randall told him I was looking forward to the drugs all week...Dr Bour laughed and said 'yeah, I know. SHe told us all about it!' and said that I woke up for a minute coughing and burping and was saying 'excuse me' and 'sorry' and then said 'well, at least it aint out my other end!!' (laffin...how funny is that??!!!) Dr bour did tell randall they found some irritation or infection in my stomach lining. They will know today when the biopsy comes back and its either form the EGD or an infection that they will treat with antibiotics...strange....Randall said i kept waking up in recovery and looking up at him asking when did he get there....the couple across from me loved me...her name is Joyce and she is actually a customer of our company's...well, her company is. He said I read her a riot. She  had told me a week ago that i would not be hungry on optifast...HAH!!! Randall said i told her and her husband (and the couple after them) that i was soo hungry constantly that i would come  home daily and tell cupcake to run before I threw her butt on a stick and called it lunch....haaa now THAT is funny!! On the way home, randall brought a shake i had made the night before and kept it in the cooler..it was bout 4:00-ish and asked if i wanted the shake..i said 'uh huh' and he shook it up and gave it to me...he asked if i wanted the straw with it and when he turned around to look at me, I had downed the whole shake and handed it back to him and slept the rest of the way.. i dont really remember that...strange! We stopped at the gas station near our  house and randall said i kept yelling out the window and asking him over and over if he had  'fart the strump'...whatever that means??? He said everyone just kinda kept looking at him... we get home and he is helping me outta the car...he bent over to pick up my shoes in the floor board and dropped his glasses on the ground..i yelled 'whoopsi' and when he picked up  his glasses his hat fell and i yelled 'oh, whoopsi, whoopsi' and he started laughing asking me if i wanted my shoes on...i told him 'heck no, i'll break my neck in those heels!' Anyway,  i was on the porch about 30 minutes and went to bed.  I kept waking up to Ethans or Aarons head looking down at me...thisclosetomyface....they never said a word, just checking on their momma i guess.

oh, by the way....7 lbs lost baby!!!
