You know that "butterflies in the stomach" feeling that you can get sometimes when you're nervous about something? Well, yesterday I had a "throat scope" done on me to check for any damage from stomach acid issues I've been having. Other than some mild throat irritation, everything seemed to go just fine, thank you very much.
But then, this morning, I got a call back from the clinic. Completely routine, mind you, just checking up on me, reminding me that I can call on Friday for my results and that I have a follow up appointment in two months, but it got me spooked, I guess... a little worried.
Now, as I sit here writing this, my stomach is churning and sore and I don't know how much of it is butterflies, how much is (perhaps) simple bruising or something (they did remove some polyps while they were in there) and how much might be the McDonalds food I ate for lunch squeezing out of my stomach and around my pancreas.
It's not a good thing when the "butterflies" you have are due to an abnormal feeling in your stomach. It's downright self propagating.
