Project 365 - Day 9
 |
Meet my coffee.
Unfortunately, this picture of my beloved K-Cups is the closest I’m going to get to my coffee for awhile. That’s right, my stomach is rebelling. The nerve huh ?
I don’t get it. I have always treated it kindly, ok, maybe not always, but mostly. I have never been a heavy coffee drinker, always eaten well and yet here I am in need of a 12 step program to kick the mental coffee habit. Sniff, sniff.
So I have been coffee free for several weeks now, with the exception of a couple of times I fell off the coffee wagon. And I tell you, tea is just not cutting it. I am a coffee girl to my last bone.
Concerned that something may be wrong after trying medication to heal my inflamed stomach lining, I naturally took the next step in trying to determine what ’s going on in there, which brings me to my little trip to the hospital for an Endoscopy today, but not before the four separate horror stories my well intentioned father and his aide told each other, (with me in the room,) about their Endoscopy experiences, which included, two incidents of awake Endoscopy, one incident of potential surgical removal of the endoscopy scope if done with Laryngitis and the death of my grandfather *by Endoscopy*, when he was choked to death. And to think I wasn’t nervous. Thanks y’all for fixing that.
So here I am doing a little hospital reading. Come on now, did you really think I would go to the hospital and not get pictures of the event? Although I must say, my ex-husband is more of a fanatic with the camera than I am and I had to give him the, “Get that camera out of my face look,” on more than one occasion.

Now, I must say going to the hospital for me is the best vacation ever. You get warmed blankets, you never have to get up to get a drink and they force you to sleep. I can honestly say, that place between sleep and wake, while coming out of sedation, with a nice warm blankie, is where it’s at.
 |
Now if they could only snatch my to-do-list. Hey, the work’s got to get done you know. And by the way, to those of you who love me….why on earth are you letting me walk out the door with hair that looks like this? My hairdresser would drop on the spot.

Jimmy Choo’s, who needs em’? You are viewing the ultimate in new and trendy footwear I tell ya.
 |
And look at that perfect blood pressure, praise God! Now please pass the salt.
 |
Now, I have plenty of other pictures I could share with you of my journey, but my place is behind the camera and, I have come to my limit of horrible pictures of myself I can stand in one day. So I figured I should quickly get right to the creme de’ la creme….drool.
With the exception of the picture of my stomach lining.
Ok, just kidding. Go recover and please…. have a cup for me.

Oh my, what an adventure for you. How are you feeling? I do how you are doing o.k. I hope the results came back good and that your stomach is feeling better soon.

You’re so awesome. As many bad pictures as I’ve put of myself on my blog, I think you took the cake and the coffee for that one of you asleep. There is nothing more dork than a photo of oneself asleep and drooling.
Congratulations!
And you can keep those socks. I hate ‘em. But then again, I hate most socks.
The rest of your shots, you look lovely. Even in your hospital gown and long bangs.

And based on these photos, I’d say white is your friend! Liar!
Even drooling you make the hospital gown look good.

That was bravery itself posting all those hospital pictures….although you still look lovely.
And if you decide to never go back to coffee, I could take those k-cups off your hands, since I have a Kuerig machine. Those are dandy, aren’t they?

All’s I got to say is, you are way too cute without makeup, life is so unfair!
I am glad you are home safe and sound, who knew that endoscopy could be life threatening?
You sure do live life in the fast lane, I wonder, if I am not having ’sympathy stomach’ with you, as since January 1st I have been a tea drinker too. We hardly are going thru the K-cups, which I guess means more money in the bank, right?
Hope you had a restful Saturday…big hug~
