Getting paid by the doctor!

I have been doing a heartburn clinical advanced research study. I have had heartburn since having Maggie and wanted to know if the acids that come up are causing any damage. So, I had an endoscopy today--a throat, stomach, and upper intestine scope. They found that I only have grade A--being the lowest--esophagitis in the gastroesophageal junction. I love that doctors have such long names for "a sore in the throat." They have to put you out for this procedure, so I was basically wiped out for the rest of the day and couldn't drive. Chris wasn't able to take me, so my dad did. Teresa had the kids for the day, so I just slept and read. It was a nice, relaxing day. I was a little sore and cranky this evening and got a little dizzy coming home from Maggie's SEP conference--which she did awesome at. The best thing about doing this heartburn study is that I wanted to get it done anyway and it isn't costing us a penny and they even pay me $50 a visit!! (Oh, I wanted to post some pictures, but Chris wouldn't let me because he thought they were gross looking.)
