I spent a fun morning at the gastroenterologist. Sooooo not a way you want to spend a morning especially if this was a dr you liked before you lost your insurance when you got laid off 6+ years before. So you have to listen to his concern since you haven’t been there in forever.
He sent the vampires after me to rule out celiac disease which I don’t think is the problem since bread and crackers are one of the few things that don’t run immediately for an exit but he said it was better to know and my body has surprised him before. And I got scheduled for an endoscopy and a colonoscopy at the same time. And under general anesthetic because last time I guess I was really hard to anesthetize with Versed and it made him uncomfortable with how much they had to use and I was barely under as it was. One of the joys of being redheaded, Redheads are hard to anesthetize and it can freak your doctor out.
The first time I had an endoscopy with a different doctor, he did something he hadn’t told me about beforehand and I came up at him out of the anesthetic totally conscious and mad and it took both nurses to get me back down again. I had handprint bruises on my shoulders for a week.
The biggest problem is I’ve been told I have to have a chaperone, their word not mine. To get me there and back and my sister can’t drive since she hasn’t currently got a license and she isn’t on my insurance. So I need to find someone to take me and then take me home.
I really hate being perforated by the vampires. I have rolling veins and sometimes when I tell them they don’t listen when I tell them to use the pediatric setup. She did and got it the first time which almost never happens. It’s a minimum of two tries so I was impressed. Of course I wasn’t expecting it and wore something with tight sleeves so I ended up getting half undressed to do it. I hate the vampires.
