Everything seemed to go fine yesterday. I spent most of the day sleeping, which was probably exactly what my body needed. The endoscopy showed no esophageal varices, which was a huge relief. The doctor did take a few biopsies of some discoloration in my throat, but that was purely precautionary and nothing to worry about—most likely just irritation from acid reflux. Today I’m left with a sore throat, but that’s a small price to pay for peace of mind.
This afternoon I head to the dentist to get the permanent crown for the tooth I had worked on last month. After that, I’m officially away from the office until January 5. I’ll work from home tomorrow, but otherwise things are slowing down a bit.
The weekend will be spent packing and getting ready for my trip to Alabama. My plane leaves at the painfully early hour of 5:30 a.m. Monday morning, so Sunday night will be an early one. For now, I’m just taking things one step at a time and grateful that yesterday brought mostly good news.
I hope your week is treating you gently.
Glad to hear the good report! Hope the rest of the day and week go well for you.
ReplyDeleteStatins can cause bad reflux.
ReplyDeleteSo you're going home?? Your choice but I just don't get it. How many times do you need to get slapped in the face.
ReplyDeleteVRCooper, Joe goes home in order to visit his mother with dementia... I mean, I think so.
DeleteThat is the main reason I go home. Otherwise, I’d probably alternate the years I go.
DeleteI' happy to hear the good report, and I hope the visit with your family goes well.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year!
¡¡¡Feliz Navidad José y que los Reyes Magos te dejen muchos regalos y cariños!!!
