TOE procedure. Sailed it

I had my TOE procedure this moring, and thankfully it wasn't as bad as anticipated.

The swallowing bit is definitely the worst aspect, with a bit of double vision for a while.

Currently waiting an hour to carry out a swallow test before hopefully being discharged.

Good stuff, bet you're glad it's over. Waiting for procedures can sometimes be the worst part. Hope you get home shortly :)

Yes, thankfully it wasn't as bad as expected.

Throat a little sore, but not as heavily sedated as I'd expected.

Already had my hospital lunch and waiting for the other half to come and pick me up.
