I have a procedure in the morning up at Columbia. Routine test, I’ve had it done before, but I am still equally nervous everytime. It’s an endoscopy, a procedure where they put a camera into your throat, down your espohagus and to your stomach. We are trying to figure out the elusive “under left rib side pain thing” that’s been happening for months now. The doc will take some biopsies and check it all out. I’m trying to quiet my brain tonight… I have to be awake very soon as I have to check in at 7 am on the opposite end of Manhattan. I hate being put under by any type of anesthesia. Especially since the Ticker debacle. It is the strangest feeling. Plus, I am not looking forward to being hooked up to an IV, a heart monitor, and the stark hospital atmosphere in general. Yikes. I do hate being in a hospital bed. Bad memories from last year… Here’s to in and out! Simple and quick! Done and done. Let’s get this over with. Now if I could just fall asleep…
