The Medical Procedure Checklist
Mood:  not sure
Topic: Yours Truly
Blood tests - check.
Stress test - check.
CT scan - check.
Thyroid ultrasound - check.
Thyroid biopsy - check.

and last (well, maybe not last) but not least, endoscopy - check.

It really wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. The drug they give you to relax you is actually very nice and I received an extra little bump of that because I gagged upon scope entry. I have to say I'm a bit diappointed in the outcome though. I was hoping they would discover an ulcer or a hiatal hernia just so they could fix whatever this is. No such luck. They found polyps instead - many of them. The dr said they look like fundic gland polyps which, thankfully, are benign 99% of the time. We'll know in 10 - 14 days.

I wonder what's next.
