Eric with Tube In Nose


Eric with Tube In Nose
Originally uploaded by darsys.

This morning I had an esophageal manometry, and then that was followed with the hook-up for the 24 hour pH test. So, here I am with the ever-so-exciting medical device. This is yet another step in the research to prevent my hopefully unlikely and untimely demise. It was done this morning, and I didn’t enjoy the procedure, though it didn’t really hurt. It just tormented my gag-reflex. It doesn’t hurt but it’s terribly uncomfortable. Like the idiot I am, I went from the doctor’s office straight to work. I have to wear this device for 24 hours (no showering allowed) then return to the doctor to have this removed.

As the day goes on this is becoming increasingly more uncomfortable. I can tell my throat will be a mess tomorrow because it’s hurting in places it didn’t hurt before. The damn tube is rubbing everywhere and I hates it. (Please say the last bit like Gollum).
