I'm going to take a long, long nap. I've just gotten back from the doctor's office where he did an endoscopy to see what's wrong with my digestive tract. See that black tube right there? That was all down my throat, into my stomach and the top of my small intestine this morning.

So far I've got (boy, do I wish this list were fake!) acid reflux, a hernia at the base of my stomach, irritable bowel syndrome and a vitamin deficiency. Awesome! In a couple weeks I have to have a colonoscopy. What fun! In the mean time I get to go get more blood work done, go to a lab and crap in a jar, then schedule more time off from work. This is fantastic. Oh yeah, I have to pick up Zantac, Metamucil and some probiotic supplement that's supposed to regulate the function of my intestines. He thinks I might have ciliac disease and perhaps something worse than IBS. I'm starting to think this is what it must have been like for Jess in the beginning before all her awful intestinal stuff happened.

I've never had anesthesia before today and I gotta tell ya - it's weird. I'm really hoping that when I drifted off to dreamland I didn't say anything about the doc's hideous tie. I was thinking about how ugly his tie was when I passed out and I've got a funny feeling I said something to him about it.

But really, someone who loves him should have taken some action. Don't let your loved ones leave the house looking a mess. It's cruel.

I'm off to sleep for a good few hours. Oh, and fart. I'm sure I'll fart a lot. I feel like they practically inflated me with that scope! I'm all full of bubbles. Yuck.
