I had a minor operation today

Specifically, en endoscopy with dilitation.

For those of you who aren't doctors and can't play one on TV, that amount to, as a treatment for my tendency to get food caught in my throat with some frequency, a 60+ year old man, with the help of a memory-limiting drug (and presumably sedation, though I was concious for some of the process) raping my esophagus with a series of graded cones in an attemt to widen it (and destroy the blockage).

This was done at 7:30 AM.
It is now 9:30 PM..
It still hurts, to the point of making me periodically nausiated. (no, the two previous times I had this procedure done, I didn't have this much difficulty).
I just hope this doesn't interfere with my Origins plans tomorrow.

Ouch. I'm not sure if its worse from that end or the other one. Either way, feel better. Maybe use it as an excuse to have lots of yummy ice cream.
