Oh my gosh, I don't know if this is a coincidence or what,but last Monday I went to my PCP and he did an EKG. When I laid flat on back, I felt this terrible pain in my stomach and it won't let up and I am sooo tired. I was miserable over the weekend. I was suppose to go out of town to a soccer tournament with my daughter, but thankfully the tourney was cancelled. We were suppose to be in North Carolina, but there were some huge storms there and the fields were under water. Thank God. I called my surgeon last Wed. and spoke to him and called again yesterday to get some more pain med. He is doing ANOTHER EGD on Friday, but I hope I can last that long. Sometimes the pain is so violent I am doubled over and can't move. I have been diagnosed with ulcers, but for some reason this feels different. I know I should go to the ER, but I need to work. Even though I am practically useless, I need to be there. My boss and co-worker have been fabulous and so supportive through this whole process, but ever since my surgery in April, I have been in and out of the hospital and have had to have numerous tests and missed alot of work. My last hospital stay last month, I was in the hospital for 10 days and missed two weeks of work. I am so blessed to work where I work, but this is our busiest time at the college and I need to be here no matter how miserable I am, but I am hope I can last that long. If I could go to the ER and get some relief that would be one thing, but everytime that I have gone to the ER, I have been admitted. Pray this pain med kicks in and starts to work. On the bright side, yes there is a bright side, I tried on a sweatshirt last night that my daughter gave me last Christmas. She knows I am a big Bengals fan and loved this sweatshirt, the only problem was that is was a size large. There was no way last year that I could even fit it over my head. Anyway, I tried it on last night and it fit!!!! I couldn't believe it. I have not worn a large since grade school. It was the best feeling in the world. I am suppose to go the game this Thursday (if I am still alive, LOL) and I am going to wear that sweatshirt. I have worked too hard and have been through hell to loose according to my scale 129 pounds. Please send good thoughts and prayers my way. I really need them and they do help. I want to thank everyone for all of the support and kind words. They really make a difference. -Ana-
