First a Manometry & 24/PH Study and now a IVC Filter



Recommended Posts

Friday I had to do a manometry test that measure pressure in your esophagus to see if it is functioning properly. The catheter with the sensors on it was no fun n weird down my nose and throat.

Then later the 24/PH Study. I had to put another catheter down my nose, into my esophagus to measure reflux of gastric contents. Checking for GERD, heartburn, regurgitation etc. Best of all I got to wear the monitor and catheter around my nose and face as a fashion statement.

And finally tomorrow at 6:00am I have to get a IVC filter place in my goring or neck. It's to catch blood cloths before they reach my lungs or heart. They're putting me through the ringers right until the end...
