Welcome to my Life

As most of you know yesterday I went to hospital to have a camera inserted into my stomach to try and locate a problem I am having with stomach pains. The pain I get is where the rib cage ends at the bottom in the middle and comes on stronger when eating spicy food.
Yesterday my appointment was at 8am but I did not go in for ages. I took the pussy option and went for sedation which is a weird feeling. What the sedation does is make you semi continues, even though I was aware and awake at the time the camera went down I can’t remember any of it. It’s weird not being able to remember the 5 minutes it happened because I can remember being wheeled back to the recovery room and then laughing and joking with the nurses while having a cup of tea.

When I got home I felt wide awake so I put on the TV and then I was out like a light. This went on all day yesterday, I would wake up for 10 – 30 minutes then fall back to sleep for 30mins – 1 hour and when I was awake I was very groggy.

Today I have a sore throat and I can feel where the camera has been.

The form that I was given to by the nurse which I never remembered having until 6pm yesterday says that everything looks normal and I have to keep taking tablets and carrying on with what I have been doing and make an appointment with the doctor in 7-10 days to discuss what to do next. Great more waiting!

The nurse did not want me to go to work today but I didn’t want to take another day’s holiday so she said that I could go in but not until 24 hours after the sedation was injected.
