Golden lab is looking at me because she has never seen me high before. She laid on the sofa and listened to my whole story. She is the best listener.

   One more post about my experience at the hospital today.
   I want to thank our friends here who encouraged me to press the hospital staff to mask in my presence and that offered good wishes for a positive outcome.
   I stood my ground and asked everyone to mask. I was calm and not to proud to beg.
   It worked.
   I was also insistent that I didn't need general anesthesia and that I would suffer from nausea afterwards. I managed to talk them into drugging me but not putting me to sleep. I ended up higher than a kite and it took hours to get through the woozy.
   I never puked though and I am thankful that they listened to me.
   I have a pretty extreme hiatal hernia and a crusty ring in my esophagus that was removed today.
   I have decided that with everything on our plate I am going to manage my condition by eating in such a way as to not irritate.
   In reality I've been managing for years but now know the doctor doesn't suspect cancer.
   Summer listened and understands.
   I love the love.
