After a couple of months of feeling just fine, my Dr. decided that it was time to start backing off the meds I have been on for my stomach "issues". Well, it's only been a few weeks and my stomach problems have again risen. I have been in misery for about 2 weeks (I even threw up at work the other day- so humiliating!!) So, I went back to the Dr yesterday. He thinks at this point I need to have some more tests done. {Yay, just what I wanted to hear! Who doesn't LOVE tests!!} They are setting me up for a endoscopy and colonoscopy both! Seriously, both!? At least I will get them done all at one time. His thinking is that if they don't find anything from those tests, we might have to go ahead and have my gallbladder taken out after all. ugh. All my pain is still on the left side, but I could always have "referred" gallbladder pain. He said it's rare but does happen. {and of, course it would happen to me} We won't know anything till after the tests and they are going to get back to me when it's scheduled. It won't be till the end of July though- NOT before Stratton's birthday party, I have WAY too much to do!! It should only put me out for a day and a half, so it's not too bad. And I have talked to several people who have recently had it done and they say it's not as bad as it used to be. Still. . . I am NOT looking forward to it at all!
