Endoscope

Still don't know if I'm spelling it correctly.
Well yesterday (Thursday 19th) I had the pleasure of undergoing and completing another rung in my ladder. I had my endoscope exam. All in all it was a breeze, the only unpleasant part was the topical anesthesia for my throat that I had to gargle and swallow. It tasted pretty bad and had the consistency of 10w30 motor oil, kinda tasted like motor oil as well. The exam itself went quickly and I came out of the anesthesia a little early and opened my eyes while they were still down my throat with the camera. Kind of startled me so I just shut my eyes until they tried to wake me. Came out of it quickly and looking to get out of there. They did find a couple things they weren't expecting, hope it doesn't delay my surgery but I will find out soon. Any hope to see everyone on Tuesday.

That's all for now

PS..I hope I'm not the only patient that Dr. Buchin has ... I mean I really would like to here from other people in the process of undertaking their journey. We are all here for each other and it helps to share.... This is a really safe zone so it's OK to open up and share. So far in the time I have been reading and posting the others here have been supportive, funny and informative. So if there are any lurkers out there throw in a few cents... just a word or two can make a difference to someone. Consider this your official invitation. I mean there must be someone else who is a patient ...because the way things are going (slowly) I'm not money in the bank for the fine doctor and his great staff.
