Just got back from the Gastro doc... Yippie, I get to have the total irrigation done. Both ends in one day. I'm going to be hungry as a mug when I wake up.
The nurse was exceptionally unhelpful when totally not answering my questions. I'm scheduled at a quarter to seven in the morning for this thing and I have to start taking the stuff the night before and six hours before which means that I will be up past midnight. I'm not at my best past midnight. I can do it. I don't want to, but I can do it.
Based on the pains that I have and the other factors that are too yucky to mention here he feels that yes, we should go down both ends in one day just to see. The fact that I had a close relative pass away from stomach cancer did not add any sunshine to this visit. In fact my doctor thought it would be a great idea to tell me everything he tells patients who he thinks need double irrigation. (I am not calling the procedures by their names. I even put it in my calendar as Garden hose.) He wants me to do some looking into stomach and colon cancer.
The fact that the pain that drove me to the er that night was on my left side and the inflammation was on my left side means that the Motrin was what caused the pain I was feeling not the colon problem. He's not even sure that the colon inflammation would have been noticed until it was a really big issue. And in his opinion, when things like an inflamed colon can go unnoticed, they tend to point towards the cancer side of the scale.
So operation scare the shit out of Claudette was a rousing success!
And I'm going to worry. I inherited that ability from my mom. Jump to the worst possible conclusion almost immediately because there is no one there to say, "Calm down."
Why is that doctors always know exactly which spots to press on your body to make you radiate with pain?? Seriously?? I was doing very well. Hadn't had a bad Tummy day since Sunday afternoon and before that possibly Thanksgiving because I seriously over ate. But now, he hit that one shit spot just under my ribcage and my entire abdomen feels like I've been doing crunches are drinking a gallon of milk. Not nice dude.
Grilled/ fried/ baked BBQ chicken for dinner (The kids defrosted a BJ's pack of drumsticks and they all need cooking. I may be back with the Q blog tonight but I'm gonna say no right now because the need for a tramodal is pressing very hard right now. You know what? Let's just assume that I won't be back until tomorrow.
Love peace and Hair grease!
Ow! Hiccups hurt.
night!
