You can’t resist a title like that, can you? 🙂 I had some capsule endoscopy action going on. Or as they say in the business, a stomach camera.
That’s right! I went to a doctor, numbed up my throat and they shoved a big tube down it. As far as the procedure goes, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone; you feel like you’re going to vomit and choke the entire time, and some things simply shouldn’t happen in your stomach at the touch of a button. But I would totally recommend doing it if you have the chance simply because it’s incredibly cool!
They say that you should show personal stuff on your blog to appear more human. Since naked pictures of me would be rather boring, I figured the inside of my stomach might do the trick instead (hey, it still takes guts… hahaha, get it?! Guts! Oh, I crack me up). And I love playing House as much as anyone (no, not the kids game House, where you pretend you’re the daddy and mommy; the TV Show House) so let’s take a closer look at my stomach!
First off, this doesn’t look anything like a stomach, this looks more like the underside of a pig. But since I do eat pork, I guess it makes sense? The gooky stuff lining the walls is either saliva, mayonnaise, or used motor oil. Next.
Yeah! That looks more stomach-y! I like the wavy lines. Good job, stomach! The gangrene looking stuff near the top is nothing to worry about, according to the doctor, they’re simply supposed to be there, they’re aliens from a distant planet, or I drink far too much Green Tea. I’m going for the alien theory. Next!
While this could be a blob of pudding, yogurt, or cake mix, it’s actually a part of the gastrointestinal tract, uh… somewhere in there. That red spot with the white stuff is actual irritation from stomach acid. Nothing permanent, just think of it as a bruise. Next…
If you stare at it long enough, it starts to look like Jupiter or Mars. But this is really inside my tummy! I have Jupiter inside my tummy! Nah, just more stomach stuff. I’m guessing the red stuff is more irritation and the long hole is just more stomach.
Damn, I should’ve been a doctor. This stuff is too cool.
There were a bunch of other cool pictures too, like one where you could see the stomach acid dripping, and another where you could see the tube of the camera in my stomach, but the doctor wouldn’t give me everything (yeah, I’m one of those patients), just this much 🙁
In the end, there’s nothing seriously wrong with my stomach, just normal wrong. So, nothing to seriously worry about 🙂
What do you think? Any second opinions?
Like, you think it looks more like Venus? That’s an opinion too, I think.
Hope you enjoyed my stomach!
