Today, actually in the next hour or so as I begin writing
this, I will be going to the hospital for my EGD test. From what I understand,
this is nothing to be too worried about, as basically my surgeon is just going
to be putting a tiny camera down my throat to look at my esophagus and all of
the fun stuff that she will have to contend with when my actual surgery comes. The procedure itself I’m not worried about. I
am always worried when it comes to being under sedation, however. For this I
will be put in a, “twilight sleep – just sedated enough to be calm and compliant
and follow the surgeon’s instructions.” Fucking creepy. Why would anyone put it
that way? Although I do not remember much of what happened the last (and only
other) time I was put under, I do remember a lot of flailing and several nurses
trying to calm me down as I woke up. Supposedly I won’t even remember anything
about what happens this go around. That is also creepy. I really hate not being
in control of myself. I guess I will
update with my memories, or lack there-of, later. FOR SCIENCE!

I've had that done. A few times.
ReplyDeleteYour throat will be a little sore after, but that's it. :)
