Well, my endoscopy is done.  It was a cake procedure.  They put in an I.V. and wheeled me into the exam room.  They put a block in my mount for the camera to run through.  They then administered 3 of Versaid and 5 of Fentenal (what ever the hell that means).  The last thing I remember was a lady telling me I am going to feel a little sleepy and I swear not more then 5 seconds later I must have been out.  I started dreaming that I was gagging on the camera cord and that I could feel the cord going deeper into my throat and then I felt it being pulled back out BUT remember, I thought that it was a dream since thats what it felt like.  Next thing I remember, the nurse was talking to me and I asked her if it they started or if it was done and sure enough, it was done.  I don’t remember a damn thing except for the dream I had which really must have been a dream/twilight sleep.

The weird thing about this whole deal was that when I was awake, I felt no grogginess or sleepiness and yet when I laid back down I was out like a light bulb and then the nurse would start talking to me I then would be up as if nothing had happened.  I attribute that to the drugs but it was still weird.

Shit, they took pictures of everything and I wanted to get a copy of them to post up here…  I’ll see if I can get a copy of them.  They did not look good.  He says that I have something that causes my stomach to become inflamed and swollen…

I am home now, and I am laying down to take advantage of being able to fall a sleep on a dime   I took the rest of my meds and FINALLY had my cup of coffee on the way home so I am good to go.  Good Night!
