The papers we sign

Today was the day for a gastroscopy for me.  We have been trying to pinpoint stomach problems I have experienced.  Thankfully the initial tests today show normalcy – one more test biopsy is still to be examined.

As I was being prepped for the procedure, I was asked to sign some forms.  I have this irritating thing – I actually read the forms.  The nurse said I was the second person in 20 years to actually read the entire form (after the first paragraph they got rather tedious!).

Since a sedative was part and parcel of the procedure, they wanted to be sure I didn’t do anything serious for 24 hours.  Like taking care of children, or signing legal documents, or driving, or making significant decisions.  In fact, they asked that someone accompany me home.

I signed. 

Amazing how stress relieving that is! 

I’m only responsible to not be responsible.  For 24 hours.  No meetings tonight, and a light morning of work tomorrow.  Then back to the usual activities.  But for the moment, I’m taking it easy!!
