Endoscopy & dilitation
Well, - yesterday ---- finally I was able to have an endoscopy. Guess what they told me - "you won't remember a thing!" Well, I probably wouldn't have had it just been the endoscopy; however, I was strictured closed and when they started to dilitate - God help us all - I remember someone saying give her more sedatives - but it was too late then. It was awful- absolutely awful. I don't mean to scare the next person that has it done because as a general rule you don't remember. From what they said I was so closed off they could not get the narrow little tube through - so they dilated me twice. I feel like I have had rotor - rooter "ahold" of me. I am so sore from the back of my neck all the way down. Clear liquids and rest for me and hopefully by the time I go for the cancer work up on Monday I will be ready for another round of test and more test. Isn't this journey exciting. This way I don't have to worry about protein or much of anything else for a few days - just keeping myself hydrated!!!!!!!

Well, there is nothing very dull or boring about my life. I am sure that if that room wasn't soundproof someone must have thought I was having a baby. There is one thing for sure the plumbing is working now - all the way from the top to the very bottom. If you know what I mean. Too bad I can't set my computer up at the commode!!!!! Need a notebook!
It will go better - I have to believe that. Do you think after my test on Monday it will be okay for me to go have a lean steak and baked potato and some steamed veggies - don't think I am quite ready for that, but I am at least craving and hungry - that is a good sign; however, on second thought - it might have been best for me never to have gotten hungry!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, though, it's really good to see you postings, and I'm sorry you're continuing to have problems...
What kind of work up are they doing on Monday, full scan? Well, I guess I didn't even know you by your picture - looking good girlfriend. Yes I am always showing off; however, I honestly would have preferred not to have shown off yesterday. I thought big deal - an endoscopy; however, wasn't planning on them killing me attempting to get that stoma open enough for my pouch to empty. I heaved and hoed!!!!!!! 
It was real exciting - too bad the two of you couldn't have been outside the room --- or better yet a mouse in the room watching me make a fool out of myself. Monday - a PET Scan, to locate the exact location of any more tumors, a load of lab work, a diet consult, a full-body CT Scan and then the appointment with the hematologist. And it is suppose to be hottier than well a hot place here the next few days - guess it is a good place to be laid up in a cool air-conditioned house. Smile! Giggle! 
After Monday is over I am going to 
hearty. Sybil.
