Finally getting to the heart of things

Well the VA Hospital called me and I will be in the hospital for the EGD next Wed the 24th. They said I will need to have zero anything including water before they see me. That sucks, no coffee. If your over 50 and you have had your colonoscopy, this is the same thing except from the mouth end. LOL

EGD is because I have trouble swallowing solid food short of grinding it to pulp and even that can cause a problem. They xrayed a week or more ago and found nothing now they will use a camera to look at my esophagus to determine what is restricting it.

Down With a Cold

I know I know its been a few days.   Nothing much is new, I still do the blood test but once a month now not every week.  I still have something plugging my esophagus, they ran xray's but found nothing.   Next should be the camera down the throat.  Trying to decide to go see my doctor or the local witch doctor to get some kind of cold assistance.
