jenni_blogLast night I fasted from 9 PM until this morning at 10 AM, because I had to undergo an Xray test called an upper GI series. I've been having trouble swallowing food for the past few months, as well as horrible acid reflux and felt I needed the test done in order to make sure everything is OK. Unfortunately, our office cleaner, a lovely man that we'd known for 22 years, passed away from stomach cancer last October after a couple of years of living with the disease, and his initial symptoms were the same as mine. So I just wanted to make sure. Also, my uncle passed away from pancreatic cancer at a fairly young age, and as I am approaching that age now, I want to make sure I get myself checked out. I haven't had a complete physical exam for 7 or 8 years, despite working for a doctor. Go figure. That's how it works. :(
Anyway, I didn't feel like going to work afterwards. First of all, they made me sit around and wait for 45 minutes before they even took me in to do the test, and second, they made me drink barium and then alka selzer, which were both horrible and put my stomach right off for the day. Luckily the radiologist who did the test was a super-hot darkish Latino type, which made me feel a lot better. Talk about some fantastic eye candy. He made drinking the awful stuff much more bearable. :P
When we came out we went to Tim Horton's for some breakfast and I found it a bit hard to digest, so I called work and told them I couldn't make it. Then Ed and I went and did some Christmas shopping, which was great. The stores weren't busy and I was able to finish almost all of what I wanted to do. :)
So I don't know...maybe I'll do a picspam or two now. I feel like doing something. :)
Oh, and Dr. Hotstuff said I'd get my results in about 5 days, so I have to wait until then to find out if I'm okay. :/
