Getting old is no fun.

I have had Acid Reflux pretty much since I was a teenager. Digestive problems run in my family. I went to see my gastroenterologist today because it has been bad lately. I had an attack that was so bad it sent me in to a severe asthma attack. He tried to play it cool, but his bedside manner kind of sucks and I could tell something was up; he wanted to get me in right away for an upper endoscopy. That is there they take a line with a light and a camera on the end and shove it down your esophagus to look for more severe problems.

I just enjoyed my last glass of water I am allowed to have before I go in for my procedure tomorrow morning. I've never been under general anaesthesia and that is really the only part that has me concerned. Well, that and what they might find.

Wish me luck.
