for tums or pepto bismol - Friday, Dec. 08, 2006
Pass the Pepto, Please!!
ugh! and more ugh! im at the tail end of acid indegestion/heartburn.
the esophagus is on fire!!! i woke up at 1:30 and sat up awhile, put on my dr. killpatient hat, and conducted an exam to determine if this was acid/indegestion, or a major heart attack brewing like my coffee.

after a few minutes, and zipper faithfully sitting by my side, i decided that i was not going to keel over today, and got me some water, as i did not have any tums or pepto-bismol, and i tell ya, i felt that water going down, all the way down til it hit the stomach. a belch was in order, but this wasnt a gassy belch, but the acid indigestion/heartburn type of belch, which was tasty; and that i drank some more water, and felt that too. the more i belched, the pain rose and subsided; since it was determined that i was not having a major miocardial infarction (thats Dr. Killpatient talk for "heart attack") i decided the next course of action was one more glass of water and a smoke. then, i was able to lay back down, and goto sleep.

i woke up at 4:15 and i still have the acid indigestion/heartburn, but it is not as severe as it was 3 hours ago.

what the hell could be causing this?
(side note: heart attacks occur between 5 and 7 am, mostly)
i do not get acid indigestion/heartburn on a regular basis; i haven't had a heart attack since 1992; the morning coffee isnt making it any worse; so, lets recap of yesterdays food intake:

breakfast; ham, egg and cheese
lunch; cheeseburger
supper; spagetti
i had a slice of pumpkin pie between breakfast and lunch, and one slice between supper and bedtime.

so i dont know what the dealie is.

right now, the esophagus is fine; the acid indigestion/heartburn is now limited to the bottom of my throat, and the morning coffee has no effect on it; my chest is not tight, nor are my arms numb. i am not accustomed to feeling like this. i dont get this at all.

later on, i will be getting my "bonus check" which will come in handy, i dont need anything right now, as i got plenty of food and smokes. maybe i'll go and get a coupla pairs of jeans at the wal mart and maybe a coupla shirts. ya know, i still have all the free clothes i got at the mission over 2 years ago? and all i added to that was socks, and a coupla pairs of jeans and shirts. maybe i'll get some chinese food.

the coffee aint doing its job, im still groggy, but i just had one cup. and slept from 10 to 1:30 then 2 to 4:15. im getting older, but im not getting deeper in debt! hahahahaa!!!

heres to a sunshiny day, all the way!!
