Endoscopy Part II

I open my eyes. SO SLEEPY. I just want to sleep.

The nurse comes in and I tell her a kind of embarrassing story about when I had my wisdom teeth out.

Jeff comes in.

There's a machine that beeps whenever I move. I look around and see that I am back in the curtained off area. Apparently it's all over and they've wheeled me back up front.

The drugs wear off pretty quickly and I start to wake up more and more.

The nurse comes and tells me that I might have an air bubble in my stomach that I can either burp up or it can pass all the way through, either way is fine with her.

Across the way is another curtained off area. The curtains aren't closed all the way and I can see the man lying on the bed.

Then I hear a sound coming from his bed. PPPBBBBTTTHHHPPPP!

And again. PPBBBTTTHHHPP! PPPPPBBBTTTHHPPPP!!!!!

Uh... that man just farted. A lot. Is that what's going to happen to me?! Oh my gosh.

Then a nurse walks into the curtained area right next to me.

Nurse: Have you passed any gas yet?

Man: Not that I'm aware of.

Nurse: Well they put a lot of air up in you during that so if you feel any gas, you just fart it right out.

Oh... I think the major farting happens after a COLONOSCOPY. Oh, good. Maybe that won't happen to me.

Then the man next door gets going: Blub flub blub flub. Flub blub flub.

Me (to Jeff): That man is farting. A lot.

Blub flub blub.

Jeff and I make conversation and ignore all the sounds around us. After a few more minutes, I'm awake enough to leave.

I haven't eaten since the night before. I am hungry. Jeff and I walk next door to a pizza place and I eat half of a pizza. I am no longer hungry.
