About 10:00 a.m. Thurs., was the time of the endoscopy. I had lots of people praying for me. It seems some throat tissue was damaged by the endoscopy, and there was a little bit of internal bleeding so required administering of antiobiotics immediately afterwards; and the doctor prescribed medicine for me to take for the next week. I thought I would be home around 11:00, but it was past noon when I finished I.V.'s!

A prayer-answering God could have done anything He wanted, but He had allowed this to happen. So maybe it was "upside down", but it was "meant that way" for a very good reason (Aug. 28, 2010 post)! I am sure I would have been upset had I not prayed first. It taught me to remember to go into every situation doing so.
Several church members were praying for the test. I sent e-mail to one of them relating the above paragraph.
"Knowing that you prayed really helped," I told her. "Just knowing this was God's answer to prayer made it easier to swallow (no pun intended!)."
Oh--I almost forgot to tell you: the endoscopy showed I don't have any problem in my tummy!
