Do you ever just get lucky?

Jessi, are you eating, while you are posting here? :wink:
I am feeling hungry thinking you eating.

Anyways, you got this surprise for good!! Enjoy the food..But stay conscious if you visit KFC tomorrow and a guy comes up saying you, "Ma'm, we delivered you the item you didn't order.. so pay the balance.. :wink: :wink:

I'd just tell him, "No way, Jose! You snooze you lose!" LOL

And yes, I was eating while I was typing that.

No KFC for me tomorrow, I'm having an endoscopy. yuck. I've been having a bit of trouble swallowing...Actually got a piece of food STUCK a couple of weeks ago and had to go to the emergency room. A $4.00 lunch is going to cost me who knows how much in copays..lol

You know, I assist my patients while they are undergoing Endoscopy. You have to be empty stomach for at least 12 hours. This investigation is quite painful especially when the tube goes from inside the mouth to the stomach.

Be strong and don't bite the tube! Take rest for half an hour after the investigation. Everything will be fine. :D

They're going to give me IV sedation, so hopefully I won't know what's going on..lol My uncle had one about 3 weeks ago, and he said he was partly awake, but didn't feel anything. So I'm hoping I don't either.

Jd,

Let us know how it goes! Good luck...endoscopy isn't too much of a big deal, you will do great. :)

Yeah, I'm hardcore. :-P And it's better I find out what's going on before I end up back in the emergency room.

A couple of weeks ago, I was eating lunch and I could feel the food was stuck. I tried drinking water and all of that and it would not go down. I couldn't get anything down. I was the only one working, and didn't want to call anyone in, so I waited 4 hours until we closed, then drove up to the emergency room. I probably could have called 911 or something, but I didn't want to be stranded. They gave me some medications, and relaxed the muscles and it finally went down.

It's happened a couple of times before, but it's gone down after a few minutes..But this time it didn't.

It was a miserable night, that I don't want to repeat. So I guess a few minutes of "torture" is worth it. :)

That is completely frightening....I doubt that I would want to eat at any point after that :cry:

I was leary about it for the couple of days after that.
