My Hospital Experiance February 5, 2010 - 17:39:46

Ok so if you didn't know already, I went to the hospital today to get a Barrium Swallow and some x-rays. I have what might be a Hiatal Hernia. What is means is my esophagus is widened out as a 2 way track instead of a one way track like it should be. So I was also experiencing a sharp pain as well. So I went to the hospital here in Shell Lake and it was weirdest experience it was a snowy morning and no one was parked at the hospital and I was the first person pretty much to arrive. Now I got registered and they placed an armband with my name and Birthday.

Now I was told to go to the X-ray room. They maybe change into gowns and I hated it. I had to wear 2 actually. I hope I don't have wear gowns in a long long time. Now had to drink this liquid which was anticipated to be worse than it was. I also stood and laid on a table as they examined my skeleton. I managed to get a glimps of my spine on the screen. The lady was making lay on cushions and stuff as they took pictures of me. So in all hopes, I hope they find this problem and hopefully know a way to fix it. But anyways, I hope to not have to go back to the hospital in a long time.

I guess this was much anticipated to be worse like I was told I would feel terrible afterwards and really I wasn't because I went bowling after. I have a big headache now but maybe that's normal. The barrium however will have to be pushed out through fiber and water and such cause it'll stick to my stomach as it is designed to do so. Also the drink wasn't too terrible either. So overall my first actual hospital experience went well.
