Doctor appointment Today....and.....

Felt strange the last couple of days. That kind of strange that you cannot put your finger on…so close to normal, that it may be normal, and maybe that is what’s strange about the feeling. Went to the doctor today about it. Stomach has been a slow dull burn as of the last couple of days and I decided to give the guy with the degree a crack at it, being that WEBMD and Google had me dying of different things. I have a history of ulcers, bleeding ulcers and H Pylori.

Doctors office visits are interesting. I called for an appointment and was asked what was wrong. I explained that if I knew, I would not be requesting to come in. Once I arrived, the nurse took me back in and asked what was wrong. A Nurse Practitioner then came in to ask me what was wrong. I was then finally greeted by the Doctor, who had a Doctor in training with him. Can you guess what he asked me?

A Stomach scope will be needed. I will be placed in twilight sleep….the sleep that killed Michael Jackson as it were. Nonetheless, I’ve had this sedation cocktail many times with other stomach scopes.

As I sit typing this, it is 9:11 am on the East Coast of the United States. Some say we are on the brink of war, I say life is good. I say I have finally become medication free

So glad you're feeling close to normal! Please try not to worry about your scope - as far as I'm aware, they usually use Midazolam (a close cousin of Diazepam but quite a bit more potent and IV, of course)! This isn't the Propofol that killed MJ - nowhere close. That's a potent anaesthetic agent.

Well done on being medication free - you've done great!☺
