Well the pain I was having came back with avengence on Monday and still wasnt able to hold anything down.  I called the drs office the first thing on Tuesday morning and they told me to come in.  So I went in and they admitted me.  They gave me fluids (I was so dehydrated) and morphine which was so good bc that was the first minute in about 6 days that I was a little comfortable.  They did blood work and a ct scan and nothing showed up.  They kept me overnight and did an endoscopy Wednesday morning and come to find out I have an ulcer on top of my new stomach and intestines!!  So they started me on meds right away and wanted me to stay another night until I can keep something down.  I only saw a dr once and they came in at 530 and thats when your asleep and drugged and have no idea whats going on.  So I didnt ask what I wanted to.  Like how did I get an ulcer, do they come back, why do they hurt so much.  I was released yesterday afternoon after I was able to eat a little and keep it down.  I am feeling 90% better I just need to catch up on my sleep from the past week.  Well that is my little update on me.  Hope everyone has a great weekend.
