Wordless Wednesday #86

Not sure if this should be a 'wordless' or just a 'priceless' picture of me... but yes this IS a picture of me. Monday evening I managed to get food stuck in my esophagus (something that has become a recurring issue with me) and had to go to the ER to receive an Esophago-Gastro-Duodenoscopy. I also received esophageal dilatation where a balloon was used to widen the narrowed part of my esophagus. I was (of course) sedated while all of this was being done, and this lovely picture was taken by my husband at my request (though he initially refused, repeatedly) while he patiently waited for the staff to sign me out. Apparently after waking up I asked the nurse if I would be able to drink coffee and eat ice-cream... obviously I must have been hungry and tired.

Oh my goodness! I hope you are home and okay now. That had to be tremendously frightening. :(
Of course, I can't help but chuckle over you asking for coffee and ice cream after all that. Priorities, right. ;)
Well for being at the hospital you look lovely. Really! Like a Sleeping Beauty. I sure hope all will be well for you. This would / could be very frightening!
I hope you're better. So sorry you ended up in the hospital. No fun. :( Make sure Luna and Penny give you lots of kisses!
oh dear. hope you're feeling better. a balloon in the oesophagus cannot be fun. you look great for a sleeping person. i would die before i allow my hubbie to take/post a picture of me snoring ;)
Oh dear. How scary. I'm glad you are fine. Hopefully you got extra puppy kisses when you got home.
Good to hear you are doing much better! Take care.
This sounds terrible! I hope you are doing well and are fully recovered now!:( I'm so sorry!
Goodness! That doesn't sound like fun at all. I'm glad you're ok, and hope you got that coffee and ice cream! Hugs!!
