Hi Everybody,
Thanks for all the advise on my endoscopy. I had it done without the sedation. The Dr took biopsies because he thinks I have Barretts. Not what I wanted to hear but it could have been worse. I go back in a week to get the official results. While the procedure wasn't painful it was really uncomfortable until the tube went past where the gaging reflex is. Sedation next time I think (don't say I told you so Karen)
My mama is still improving in the hospital. I am so grateful but I am scared because when she feels better she will smoke again as always and we will be back in the hospital again. She will not remember almost dying. I am thinking of pushing for rehab just to prolong her homecoming. She really doesn't get it that smoking is not possible and still breath in her case. Prayers are appreciated.
Pat
