JUN 5, 23 .. A MEDICAL PROCEDURE FOR PATTI ..

Back on December 13th 2022, after an upper endoscopy in Phoenix, Patti's Mayo Clinic G.I. Doctor ordered a follow-up, upper endoscopy to be conducted in 6 months.

For a number of reasons, Patti and I "opted" not to say word-one to anyone about today's Barrett's Esophagus upper endoscopy procedure for Patti. 

Why not bring it up? Simple! We ourselves are getting (in a word) "bored" with the entire campus of medical issues we find ourselves (anymore seemingly constantly) surrounded with. So, if we are bored, we assume that you too must be bored!

So why this Post? Some of you are NOT bored and really want to be kept up to date. For us to pick and choose who is, and who isn't, is an impossible task.  

So here we go!

We had to get up very early (for us who sleep past noon or later) to meet an 8am check-in time at our local Providence Medical Center. The scheduled procedure time was 10am.

The day-surgery clinic is beside the Emergency Room.


In short order, at 8:15am, Patti was called to "come back" to the pre-surgery preparation area.

Amazing. Absolutely, positively, amazing and outstanding. The below event has never ever happened before at any hospital anywhere.

I was allowed to accompany Patti into the prep area! Usually (100% of the time until this morning) only the patient goes into the prep area.

This meant that I could sit with, and support, and be right beside, Patti for the entire prep. This was very comfortable for both of us. Patti said, and continues to say, this was VERY comforting to her!

Yes I was a great help for Patti.

"Cap where is the front and the back?"

With our two great minds working together, got THAT issue solved!


Voila! Patti was ready to go!


The two of us had well over one hour together before it was time for Patti to be taken into the procedure room. Time we each usually are alone, Patti in the prep area and me in the waiting room.

After the procedure was completed, Patti's Doctor was very pleased, pending the results of some pathology testing. 

And? After we two got home Patti said she was not tired and wanted to read her newspaper. I said, "Patti I need to get some more rest." Patti agreed and lay down (under the bed covers by the way) and the two of us slept soundly for over four hours.

And, at least for now, there you have it! 

Cap and Patti

Thank You Google ! It looks like I am back in business uploading photos here on blogspot Posts.

  1. That is wonderful that you were able to get that extra hour with Patti. It is nerve wracking to wait around for procedures to start. Glad to hear it was good news!

  2. The extra time with Patti truly was a great blessing for BOTH of us! All in all these procedures are of the "nail biting" variety. Smiles and Thanks from both of us!
