The Balrog scene in The Fellowship of the Ring. I'd read the books several times prior (my 4th grade class studied The Hobbit/LOTR for half of the school year), so I knew what was coming, but there are no words to describe seeing it brought to life the first time. I felt the same…Â
The endoscopy itself wouldn't have been as bad, if my sinuses didn't act up when my throat gets irritated. And from previous experience, i knew the numbing throat spray would not work. Nose stuffed up, so I could not breathe those three minutes. "Breathe through your nose!" Yeah,…Â
After having been partially sedated for my first endoscopy, it was a surprise to have sedation refused for my second, with sleep apnea being the excuse. I'd asked my dad after his latest one, since he also had to bring his CPAP & he was told that CPAPs are used in recovery, not during…Â

My husband's a wedding DJ, so he's seen and heard some wild stuff. The one that has stuck out most in his mind was his (from 1st marriage) stepson's drunken groom's speech, where he went on about how he didn't know why he fell in love with someone who was fat and not drop-dead gorgeous.…Â
I had just gotten residency in Canada a couple months prior, as well as a new US passport six months prior to that, and I just didn't want to go through the rigmarole of changing my name in two countries and trying to get replacement documents. My husband didn't care either way.
I went in for an endoscopy to rule out Barret's (pre-cancerous esophageal tissue); my dad had it previously, and in 2020, it advanced to dysplasia. I was fully conscious for the procedure because I didn't bring my CPAP with me. First, they didn't believe me that no one told me I had…Â
