if it's *hic* not one damn *hic* thing...
Well, that was weird. Turns out they didn't put me completely under, just kept me heavily sedated with some narcotic I've never head of, which is probably for the best.
The whole procedure took less than ten minutes from when they wheeled me into the "procedure room". The other part of my two hour stint was recovering to the point where I could leave the hospital under my own power. Steph drive me home, fed me some real food, fed me some more real food, some leftovers, and I'm still hungry.
My GI specialist thinks the nausea and augmented depression could very well be due to the Reglan, so he told me to stop taking it. Thank god for meds you don't have to wean yourself off of! Hopefully my nausea problems are over now. I looked the side effects up on webmd, and yup: problems sleeping, restlessness, depression, thoughts of suicide, anxiety... check, check, check, mmmyep, and double-check. So I'm all for stopping. Now I have some possible dizziness as a withdrawal symptom.
As of now, 6 hours after the fact, I'm feeling okay, just a little woozy. But I KEEP GETTING THE FUCKING HICCUPS. I can't tell you how much I fucking hate the fucking hiccups.
As expected, the endoscopy itself revealed only some mild inflammation caused by reflux. I am also holding my breath as I type. WHEW. Okay, hiccups be gone for now.
Thanks to all of y'all who were so supportive. I love you all.
