Sunday was mostly good. My stomach was a bit upset before work, but I toughed it out and that all went fine. I closed with Pat. I worked with Kim & Alex as well. I got to talk to Pat & Cara about Doctor Who stuff which was fun. I got some groceries after work.

Monday I read a lot. I slept. I played some Spyro 3. I didn't sleep Monday night.

Today. This morning I went to the hospital and had my first procedure done. They took me to a room. Lubricated my nose with this giant Q-Tip, which didn't hurt so much as it was quite obvious to my brain that the instrument of torture wasn't supposed to be back there. Then they shot this supposedly cherry flavored noxious gas in my mouth, which they told me to swallow to numb my throat. Then they fed this tube up my nose and down into my stomach while I drank water (and coughed a bit). The tube is connected to this old school lazer tag looking thing that I have to carry around with me, which will record data to be downloaded tomorrow morning when I have the tube removed. I also have a journal that I have to record what time I lay down, get up, eat or have symptoms, which will be compiled with the data they get off the lazer tag thing; there's a button I press to get the time from the machine. The tube in my throat doesn't hurt, but it's an annoyance. And like the Q-Tip from hell, my body knows it's not supposed to be there. It's not like swallowing a dick at all, which is too bad. lol

I didn't complain about anything while I was at the hospital and I'm trying to laugh about the whole thing. Trying to keep my spirits up. Wish me luck!
