I’ve been dealing with acid reflux & heart burn for a couple of years now. Medicine has helped, but I kept moving up the food chain in strength and prescription. A couple weeks ago I had heartburn so bad I made an appointment with a gastro guy. He thought it might be a good idea to have a look-see inside to see if he could find a reason for the escalation of symptoms, so this morning I had an Esophagogastroduodenoscopy done.
Having the EGD done was very similar to the colonoscopy of a couple a years ago, except there is no nasty prep work to be done the day before. You get an IV started and they wheel you into a room. You get rolled on your side, someone sticks a needle in the IV and you wake up later in a different room. Feeling mighty fine, I might add. The wheelchair ride out to the parking lot is worth the price of admission, the floor tiles rush between your feet sparkling with a sort of a visual doppler effect. Weeee.
I sort of remember the doctor saying that he saw nothing abnormal, but you better ask my wife, everything was very liquid for a couple hours after the procedure. I have to call and make a follow up appointment with the doc for next week, maybe by then he won’t look like the T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
