hey barb,
i'm going first - having my endoscopy this friday. i'm pretty
nervous, but also feel i have no choice, that i must have it
NOW. i haven't eaten solid food in over 8 days. so it's the
endoscopy or starvation - what a lovely choice!
i'll letcha know how it goes -
hope you get some rest,
libby
Hi Teri & Libby, hope all goes well with your scope. I found out today that the report they did up for the city council shows that they have enough to pay me full time health insurance if I become full time. 
They will vote on it one the 6th of June. Keep me in your prayers. I love my job working with the seniors at the center. Barb

hi all,
well, i'm on for my endoscopy in about 10 hours. i've had so many
many surgeries, multiple procedures, many of them so very serious,
and i know this is just a little ole diagnostic tool, but nonetheless
i'm pretty nervous and therefore up late not sleeping! bear with me -
i will let you know barb, how it goes so that maybe that will give you
some reassurance. i have so little concern about this procedure
itself, that is, like you i feel if i'm plenty stoned out i won't care or
even know what's going on. and it's a pretty short procedure, but
my doc said to expected 3-4 hours in recovery. i wake up quite
slowly from just about all anesthetic, nauseated for quite a while.
once they cut the narcotics off i wake up quickly, quit vomiting,
am ready to leap up and go home!
i'm mostly worried tommorrow about this, all my forum friends: i've
been off almost all my heart meds for 5 days, gastro guy wouldn't
do the procedure without my doing that. so that's made me a bit
nervous. and i know what that means, surgerically: it means that
off my blood thinners that i need to be able to clot a bit better,
which also means that those little buggers that can cause trouble
OR help might cause trouble. and if i'm knicked at all and it causes
undue bleeding i'd be in a bit of trouble too.
so i guess it makes no sense - i'm not worried about the procedure -
but i am worried about this blood clotting factor.
i will be glad to be leaving DALLAS tomorrow afternoon, where i'm
having the procedure and heading west back to little ole foat worth.
if all the timing goes right, i should be leaving dallas at 5 p.m. on
a friday afternoon, lovely!
meanwhile, i will say TGIF to all of you, hope you feel your best this weekend,
rest, enjoy family, and as soon as i come back to consciousness and keyboard
i'll letcha know how it went. i'm determined to give barb a good report!
many thanks for all your prayers and hugs! they do mean so much.
xo's,
libby
Hugs and good luck, Libby!! You'll be safer at the hospital then driving through Dallas!! :)

Hi Teri & Libby, hope your scope went well Libby. I'm too busy to be worried about anything Libby. We are camping this weekend and then I have daugters graduation on Thursday after my procedure. Hope they don't find something bad. Oh well think positive as I always say.
No Teri I don't see why they wouldn't if the council is shown that they do have the money to pay my insurance if I'm full time. I am well liked by the seniors and my boss. The problem though with the council is that they are the city aldermen and they don't know me at all. The ones that I did know that were seniors got voted out this spring. So they are looking at this very differently where it is just the money that counts to them. It still sounds good though. I will let you all know on the 7th of June. You may not hear much from me this next week with the camping and then the graduation preparations so don't worry. I'll be back. Take care everyone and have a great weekend. Barb

Heidi sorry to hear about your sons. Hope things work out with them just keep praying for them and loving them no matter what. We had a lot of problems with our kids. My son has turned out to be an exceptional young man. I think the Marine Corps and his new wife had alot to do with his change also. He tells us he loves us everytime he calls. He also thanked me for working 2 & 3 jobs all these years to take care of the family. That really touched me. So someday they will realize how much their parents mean to them and how important they are to have in their lives. Take care and have a nice weekend.
Hey at least your fur kids love you unconditionally. They listen so much better too than the human kids. lol

hi everyone,
well, i'm back home from my EGD this morning and the procedure
and results all were fine! i can't remember who was up next for
the scope, barb or heidi? but i know there was a lot of worry -
i have to say i remember NOTHING, ZERO after he gave me the
versed. they said they would need me awake to help with the
first swallow, which i dreaded, but if i was awake then i don't
know it! it was quick and easy and i was out of there and going
back home in about 2 hours total time. so the upshot is good, too,
mostly, that he found sorta nothing. he said it's definitely acid
reflux but also probably a "spastic esophagus" - that sounds about
par for something that i would have! so new meds, probably, either
klonopin, which i understand is originally prescribed for epileptics,
or amytriptiline, which i've tried before and didn't feel very good
on. anyone else tried either of these?
just wanted to encourage whoever is next!
and i'm headed to mayo on monday for a wednesday appointment.
now i've had this test, i hope that's less i'll have to have done
there. although may have another heart cath there, we'll see...
libby
Hiya, Libby!! It's so good to hear that your results were so favorable!! I get esophageal spasms as well. :( I guess it sort of comes with the territory-angina-asthma, all sort of feel the same.
I take Klonopin for anxiety. I take it at night and take a very very low dose, so that my BP doesn't get too low. :) It works for me and I've had no problems with it.
When are your other tests to be done??
You get a good night's rest and take care!
Big Hugs, Teri :)

I've been so overly active these past few days, had a small set back this morning waking up with an asthma attack, then this afternoon after 2 long days of shopping for my daughter's B.D. and working with the birds...I had an angina attack this afternoon that I was able to conquer on my own with out outside intervention. But left me feeling rather drained today.
Libby, I hope your weekend has turned more on a positive note, with the endoscopy results behind you?! Let's hope that the rest of your tests and problems all stay that way-positive! :)
Heidi, I'm sure glad you're doing better today!!
Ya'll take care. Hugs always, Teri :)
