Frustration and Emotions

I am having my EGD tomorrow and to even go under with conscious sedation I need a bolus dose of steroids either through the IV or IM, in a muscle. I call GI to make sure that the medication is added to the orders well they want further instruction/orders from my endocrinologist before adding it to the orders. I thought for about 15 minutes about just doing it at home IM, but since my level of blood thinness is not the greatest right now in consistency (I am not supposed to give it if the number is greater than or equal to 3.5) So I prayed before dialing the number for the endocrinologist since their office is ridiculously slow and hard to get ahold of the nurse. I actually got the nurse and got a phone call back that she had spoken with the right person, Danielle, and had faxed a copy of the order to the doctors office.

Emotions, well this month is just a hard month in general. My dad died this month and also his birthday would be this month. He would have been 51. I cant believe that it is now 7 years. Somedays it feels like it has been forever and somedays just yesterday

I am NPO after midnight just to try and make sure that my stomach is actually empty when I go under, the procedure time is 330 and we have to be there at 230
