Is That a Camera in Your Throat or...

Ok so yes it was a camera in my throat! :)

Well I went today for my Endoscopy and good thing is, there was no ulcer and Dr H said everything looked good... but there is still the issue with the pain in the abdomen so he is sending me for a CAT Scan with contrast. Can't say I'm real excited about having to drink some nasty thick stuff you probably cant even calssify as a liquid but I guess it's better to do it and be sure. He wants to make sure that, since I've lost 116lbs, I didn't get a twist in my bowels.

Basically, he's going to take some pretty pictures to make sure I dont have a kink in the pipes!! lol :)

Anyway, all in all it was a good experience besides the big bruise I have on my hand where the nurse missed putting in the first IV. At least I have that bruise to match the one on the other side from me falling down the stairs!! hahahaha

I think what I'm going to do is start logging my food, BM's and the pain to see how it goes. Like tonight I got them again after eating. I had dinner from 4:30-5pm and then waited (like I'm supposed to) until 5:30 to have my water. I drank a bottle of water between 5:30-6pm and then a few minutes after that (maybe 5-10 mins) I got the pains in my side. Now I know it isnt constipation because I had a BM yesterday and now twice today (who the hell wants to hear about me taking a crap??? lol). The pain didnt last as long as it has before but it was there for about 5 mins or so. I guess we will see what happens and if nothing shows on the CAT Scan, I'll just have to deal with the pains!! At least I dont have an ulcer!!

Ok it's very late and I'm tired as heck so I'm headed to bed! Sweet Dreams!
