Endoscopy Today

[Brit]

OK so I had my endoscopy today! I did well. I went to Westchester Medical Center in the Pediatrics and had Dr. Glassman. It was great there. Anyone who lives relatively close to Westchester Medical Center I strongly recomend going there! The nurses were great and so was the anesthieologist[spelling?]. But they were really awesome there. I was rolled in at about 9:00 this morning and they got tons of pictures of me before I was actually out. They put the IV in me and what they call "special milk" put that into the IV and in within a minute I was out and told my mom that she could leave. But the procedure only took 5 minutes and within 15 minutes when my mom left the room they came out and said she wants you to come in. I guess as soon as I came out I started asking for my mom...lol[i guess thats what you guess with being a mamas girl]. So she came in and was sitting there. And my lips were bothering me[still bothering me] so I asked for either vaseline or windex. They said why windex and I said because Windex fixes everything. My mom told me that I was still gone but I was responsive and my eyes were open. I came up with some funny words I guess and yeah but I don't feel any pain now so it was good.

Thanks everyone who helped me!

I'm glad it went so well! That's funny about the Windex. It does fix everything! It's great for getting spilled red Kool Aide off Grandma's white comforter, and for about any other stain on carpet (especially bird poop). You must have been thinking of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Glad it went well! How long before you know the results? I go for mine tomorrow.

Glad it went well! Yep, apparently on my first scope I was pretty out of it in the recovery room. My mom said I asked the nurse (who was very patient with me, lol) the same question 3 times. Never did remember the answer, or even what the question was, but apparently it was important enough at the time for me to ask it three times (having not remembered that I already asked it).

How long before you know the results? I go for mine tomorrow.

It took about a week for mine to come back.

Hi Brittany! I'm so glad that everything went so smoothly.

After mine, the doctor came over to tell me a few things--as soon as he walked away, I forgot everything he said . I had to ask the nurse to see if he'd come back in and repeat what he had just told me.
