Ulcer...Ugh.

I'm happy to report that I'm feeling much better on the Nexium and Carafate (which is the most vile, chalky liquid--ugh).  I have an appointment with the gastroenterologist on Monday afternoon, so I should know more soon...and hopefully surgery won't be necessary.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Whit isn't feeling well, so I'm not sure what the weekend holds other than me spending some time cleaning my house!!

Have a fabulous Friday!!

Good News...and Bad News...

The good news is that I've lost 109 pounds since May, 2011.  Pretty amazing, right?  The bad news is that the pain I have is potentially a real problem.  Dr. Enochs believes that I have an ulcer.  This can threaten the connection between my little stomach pouch and the intestine.  I have to see a gastroenterologist this week sometime (it was 6:30pm by the time I left the doctor's office; they're supposed to call me sometime today) so that I can get an endoscopy scheduled.  

I am feeling lousy so am going to call it a night.  Will let you know how things progress...
