EGD

Good morning.. Monday morning I went in for the EGD... I asked them to not put the i.v in my hand and the doctor said it would not be a problem.. However the guy putting the line in couldn't find my huge vein in my arm so in my hand it went..

1. You have to get completely naked including zero undergarments

I was a little shocked with this news and felt completely unnatural..

2. They prefer your spouse or "ride" to spend time with you before the procedure

However the timing on mine my DH did not get to spend any time with me before hand..

The bed I was in was wheeled to the or and at this point they put the anesthetic in my line... The last thing I remember us the Dr saying we were holding there for a room as he put my hair in a blue hospital cover...

Next thing I know I Am able to get dressed and see my husband..

I should have written this when everything was fresh in my mind but I was quite loopy still..

After I was dressed we went to the cafeteria to eat, then I went to see the nurse that handles everything for my surgery to be sure I am on my path correctly and that I will not have road blocks along the way.. My tentative surgery date is 1/25/12

I then went to my last ship shape class and received my certificate then I went grocery shopping.. As soon as I arrived home around 5pm I went to bed.. At 7pm I was up again to meet done lady who was purchasing some items I listed on Craigslist..

A biopsy was done to test for h- pylori since blood work showed me as positive, it was also discovered that I have a hirneia...
