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.
