Well, that was uncontroversial...

Just got through the endoscopy, which was remarkable mostly for how utterly ordinary the experience was. I've never been under sedation before, so the prospect was a smidgeon daunting. In fact, the only unsettling part of the experience is the absolutely total retrograde amnesia. I don't even rememer waking up -- it just blended smoothly from "okay, we're putting in the sedative" to "okay, we're done", in an apparent span of about two minutes. I would *swear* that I didn't fall asleep, but there's 20-30 missing minutes in the middle there.

(As expected, there's nothing dramatically wrong -- a slight hiatal hernia. Does confirm that I'm going to have to experiment with and modify my eating habits, though. I *will* be cross if I have to swear off chocolate...)
