How are you feeling right now?
I had the morning from hell today. As one of the final acts of my “out-of-the-office” time, I scheduled my gastroscopy. I’ve experienced a lot of stomach issues this year, got ill, developed lactose intolerance, this, that and the third and my doctor wanted me to do a gastroscopy so I did.
My gastroenterologist has been welcomed to the list of medical staff that I’ve kicked. Yes, there is a list, there’s three people on it and in my defense, the first two offences were committed when I was a child. I have inadvertently hit him with my knee when I flinched during the procedure. For anyone who has done it, you know it’s uncomfortable so how I’m feeling right now and have been feeling this whole day is best described as receiving a punch in the stomach.
I know some people have a hard time going through this procedure, but I think I did well if we disregard the minor physical assault against my doctor. While I was focused on breathing, it was going smoothly but as soon as I would feel the movement in my stomach which would cause a gag reflex, I would start flinching and had to constantly remind myself that I am not suffocating. All in all, 0/10, would not wish on anyone.

I sympathise, my husband more so because he’s suffered the same procedure and potentially has to do so again sometime in the future. I hope you never have to go through it again and that you get over it soon. 😔
