bottom up

endocopy rm 2, i think. that's where i was pushed into.

(endoscopy means looking inside and typically refers to looking inside the human body for medical reasons using an instrument called an endoscope.)

dr Lim was talking to me and injecting tube after tube of something into me (via my wrist!) and the next thing i knew, i was back where it all began. i can vividly remember experiencing some discomfort during the procedure but that was just it. and after it was all done, much gas accumulated inside me that i wished i could fart quicker and faster.

apparently the scope went up my bottom. can't give any more detail because that's just all there is to be said. slept so well i didn't feel a thing.

so what was it all about? in case, just in case, i didn't hv the chance to spell it all out, i thought it might be a clever idea to leave it in writing somewhere. in this case, somewhere being here.

started from don't know when, i began to go to the loo more often than before, sometimes as many as 6 times a day. the nurse who discharged me (and gave me my 2-day sick note, yeah!) showed me the pictures and said that the colon looks ok, maybe more sensitive than usual. The rest she will leave it to the doctor to tell me in November.

(in the anatomy of the digestive system, the colon is another name for the large intestine. the main function of the colon appears to be extraction of water from feces.)

so here you have it, my bottom up experience :-)
