Jyoubunaishikankensa

I love learning new words. This is a word I learned today at the hospital. It's really quite exciting actually. In thirty years the most serious reason I had to go to the hospital (that I remember) was for a bruised kidney after a car accident. I was kep overnight for observation.

I have seen people having jyoubunaishikankensa on TV before. I always cringe at the thought of it. Now I have to go there tomorrow morning and get it done... and to think, I almost ran away today when they pulled out the needle for the blood sample.

Anyway, jyoubunaishikankensa is just a fancy Japanese word for endoscopy. They have to put a camera down my throat and plug up my gastric ulcer(s). I guess life in the Swedish countryside was just too stressful.
