|
|
Hi all,
I had my esphogus stetched and a tissue sample taken this morning when I had that scope thing done. My throat hurts like the devil though when I swallow and I don't remember a thing that doctor or nurse told me. I'm suppose to call tomorrow for the results of the biopsy. I was not even awake when they did it. The very 1st time I ever had it done in the 70's though I remembered it well and it was terrible. Gotta to go help hubby with groceries.

Ouch is right. That does not sound pleasant. I hope everything turns out clear. My thoughts are with you. _________________

It does sound painful. I hope it all comes out alright. It is probably not nearly as bad as it would have been if you still smoked! Keep up that quit, girl!

glad to hear it went ok, Barbara - and ditto Lynn - take it easy, and maybe have some ice cream (even if it doesn't make your throat feel better, it sounds like a good excuse to have some ice cream... ) _________________

Thanks Everyone,
Lynn I have acid reflux and that was one of the reasons for the scope procedure to check for ulcers and cancer. The doctor stretched my esphogus becuase of the swalllowing problems I have.
Kevin, the ice cream sounds great.
I don't know how I'll be able to take my medicine tonight because just the smallest of things feels like a hard boiled egg being swallowed. And what does my hubby do today, either stays gone or sleeps. He is never help to me when I could use some pampering. Well, at least he's not at home making messes for me to clean up, which is what would happen.

I'll ditto Bonnie. Sure didn't know anything about this procedure until reading this post. I'm praying that your results are great. Also, have you tried eating Jello? Might just slide on down. Take care. _________________

I had made some potato salad with just stuff I could mash up and had some of that today to eat. Then later tonight I could eat some honey ham. It still hurts like the devil but I'm almost use to it by now and my mood is better.
I did not post about this procedure in advance. I did not want to think about it too much before having it done so I just kind of pushed it back in the corner of my mind.
