KSG_Standard Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I feel for you brother! I've had that bad boy shoved in from the top and the bottom...I got to be unconscious during the lower examination... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mick Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 How was the upper ? Eye don't like things forced down my throat. Does it hurt or anything after for awhile ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked1 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 They'll probably give you some Versed beforehand so you won't remember what's happening. Might have a bit of a sore throat after, though. I dodged that bullet a couple of months ago. My boss had one not long ago, though, and she was out for the procedure. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuckomf Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I got intubated once for a severe asthma attack. Once the tube gets past the part that tickles when water "goes down the wrong tube" it's not so bad. Kind of feels uncomfortable, like swallowing an ice cube and feeling it go down. It looks worse than it really is - you'll probably gag a little at first and when they take it out, but as long as you're chill during the procedure the worst you'll have is a slightly sore throat afterwards.

The Mick Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 eye've been intubated for several days but It was the least of my pain and Eye was on a lot of drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSG_Standard Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I tell you what man, the worrying about it is worse than the procedure...at least it was in my experiences. You'll be fine man!

The Mick Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 My concern is they may have to do surgery tomorrow depending on what they find. It's most likely a hiatal hernia. Eye can't handle going with out food for a while if it is. Eye can't even have anything to drink tonight. Eye'm just sick of Doctors and need to ***** a little.

wicked1 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 The worst part about being intubated is being aware of it cause they usually give you something to keep you from gagging. You'll be fine--most docs today are well aware of the "fright" factor involved with a lot of these procedures so they use whatever they can to get you past them!! Â When I had my LASIK surgery on my eyes, even, they offerred me a Valium beforehand. I took it, but it didn't get me completely past my anxiety. Just let them know if anything hurts or freaks you out. They'll work with you. Trust me on that, we're trained to do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I don't know what to say man (nothing positive I can say) ... I hope it gets done with quickly, and wish you good luck. Any chance of them doing that with you knocked out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mick Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Eye've been poked and prodded at for the last 15 years and most doesn't bother me. But when Eye had my tonsils out 5 years ago (kinda late) and they worked on my neglected broken nose 10 years after that insolent Eye was so F'n miserable and couldn't eat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally understand where you're coming from on this! I hate the whole "can't have anything by mouth" thing for any amount of time. Keep your fingers crossed that it's just for one day. If not, at least you'll figure it out quickly and get it fixed. I've been in the ER in the last couple of months because I was vomiting blood, so I know how it feels to worry that your whole digestive system is screwed! But, there's always the possibility that it's only 1 or 2 days of not eating and then you'll be okay and you won't remember the worst part of it. Â I'll keep you in my thoughts!

KSG_Standard Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I had surgery a couple of years ago and they fixed my nose (it had been broken 30 years ago) while they were in there...those bastidges! I was miserable too...with a swollen face and those freakin plastic tubes in my nostrils...The upside is that in the hospital, I got to sleep a lot on some killer drugs...
