i'm sooooo hungry! i'm on NPO (no food or fluids by mouth). i'm not even allowed to run my feeds when i'm on that. they ALWAYS put me on that, especially when i'm in the hospital. if you even MENTION stomach pain, and no procedures are even scheduled, NPO it is! i usually just have my visitors smuggle me in some ginger ale. unless i'm having an endoscopy, seeing as to how if you eat or drink anything so many hours before one of those, you can aspirate and choke while they're performing it. they're talking about putting me on a long-term narcotic for my stomach issues so my hospital visits may cease, at least, woooooo-hoooooooooo! i HATE it there... but then i have to stop drinking, period, if i'm taking a narcotic.
i'm not sure if they're gonna put me under anesthesia or not. they did the last two times.
i dread this. i have the worst butterflies in my stomach.
okay, i'm done whining now.
