Samaritan Hospital- Endoscopy Day

Yes, I will admit. I specifically picked out an outfit for the endoscopy. I had it all ready last night. I believe this outfit is very versatile. This is me half asleep waiting for my dad to come pick me up.

I had a script for blood work that I needed done also, so as I was signing in I told the woman. Thinking that they could take the blood out from the IV thing once they put that in, I figured I'd get it all done in one 'shot' (pun kinda intended). But NOOOOO. Problem is, I only have one good vein, and that's in my left hand. I knew I'd need that for the IV. Luckily they only needed one vial so she said she thought this vein would hold out enough for that. And it did. So praise God.
Eww, that's a terrible color on me.
I told the nurse about my vein issues, and told her to try this one. It went in the first time, with ZERO problems, or pain. Every one's prayers for this definitely worked!

And there you have it. I'm currently drugged out and about to go pass out for the afternoon so I'm hoping this makes sense.

I'm kinda irritated because the doctor told me they'd go out to tell my dad the results and stuff because I'd be too drugged out but he totally didn't. He told me, while I was COMPLETELY out of it. I don't remember a word he told me. All I know is that according to my sign out sheet that I don't remember signing, I need to make an appointment for one month and biopsies were taken.

Thank you everyone for all of your prayers, they definitely were answered. God is faithful. To some, it may only be an endoscopy...but to me....to have to get an IV, and anything hospital related, terrifies me. So everything went well. I didn't allow fear to take over. Usually it takes about 4 tries alone to do an IV in me, and she got it the first!

And I gained 5 lbs. I know that's entirely random......but I'm really upset about it,

HAHAH I CAN'T WAIT to read all of this when I wake up.
