Back from the hospital update

Ok so when I left off, I was scheduled to have my EGD on tuesday. Well we had a little change of plans. I had a bad pain attack sunday night. It started around 10pm and I took some vicodin since Maddy was already in bed. It didn't help. So, I ate half a roll of rolaids. Still no relief. I took another vicodin. Still nothing. By this time it is around 11:30 and I'm still in pain. I called the GI clinic and talked to the nurse on call. She said to go to the ER. I was crying and could barely talk because it was hurting to breathe, so I called my mom to come over from Ponchatoula so I could go to the ER. Mitch happened to be on a call on his way to Jackson at the time. She asked if I could wait until she got there and I said no. So...I called my neighbor Amanda and woke her up and asked if she would come sleep at my house until my mom and sister got there. Thankfully she did. I seriously don't know what I do without her!! Then I drove myself to the ER. It was PACKED when I got there at midnight. I didn't get seen until 3am. Since it was my 3rd ER visit in a week and I had tests scheduled, the ER Dr. just went ahead and admitted me. I got some pain meds, nausea meds, and antacids and got into a room. Oh yeah, and I got the results of the MRCP from friday. It showed cysts on my liver, which the dr. says is not causing my pain. Everything else is normal.

The next morning, after pretty much NO sleep, I got to go have my EGD done. Ok this is where it starts to get complicated and I can't go into a lot of detail. But anyway, we found out in a roundabout way that I have errosions in my stomach, basically pre-ulcers. I have a lot of them. The Dr. doesn't think this is causing my pain however. So, she schedules me for a colonoscopy the next day. Yes.....the test that normally old men have to have. It wasn't bad at all though, they put me to sleep for it. The best part was that after the test was done and I woke up, I got to EAT!! I hadn't eaten in two days. Ok so the results of the colonoscopy: I had one tiny little polyp that she took out and sent off for a biopsy. Otherwise, normal. So I got to come home last night.

I still have two tests scheduled but they are out-patient. They are just two forms of x-rays. They are supposed to call me today to let me know when to go in for those tests. So, as I said, I can't go into a lot of detail but I am very disappointed with my doctor and the hospital and I won't be going back there. After my tests are done, if they are normal, I am going to follow up with a different GI doctor.

So today, I finally get to be home with my baby girl. Today will HOPEFULLY be a normal day. I have to eat a bland diet...so I had toast for breakfast and I'm going to make some mashed potatoes for lunch I think.

SO to sum up (this is for me mostly so I can keep track):
cysts on ovaries
cysts on liver
errosions in stomach
polyp in colon
anemic
