Ulcer

Well, as most of you guys know, I've been dealing with yet another ulcer.  The last couple of days, my stools have been quite a bit darker than normal.  So, I emailed the nurse at the surgeons office this morning and she wanted me to schedule an appt with the surgeon.  I called and got an appointment for tomorrow afternoon.  A little bit later, the nurse called again and wanted me to go and get labs drawn so they would have that before the appointment.  I guess since I've not head back from them today, the blood count must have been okay.  I think they would have called me tonight if the counts were way off. Wish me luck tomorrow.  I sure hope I'm not bleeding but I've been dizzy somewhat too in addition to the epigastric pain that I've had with this ulcer intermittently.

Darn, this isn't a good thing Kim!  Good luck tomorrow, I hope that it is something that can be remedied quickly!  Your too nice of a person to have to go through this!

Thanks, Gayla.  I will let you guys know tomorrow how it goes.

Ouch Kim!  I'm sorry to hear you're going through this.  Hope they can fix the ulcer and make you feel better really quickly.

Thanks, Linda.

Kim, Im sorry to hear you are STILL dealing with this.  I am glad that you are being proactive though.  I certainly hope that they can get this under control for you.  It sure seems like it has been one thing after another.  Sure hope things start getting better.

Thanks, Tara, me 2.  It would be nice to get this thing under control and to go away once and for all.

Gosh Kim,  I wish you the best.  Let us know what is going on.  I hope it is not bleeding either.  Julia

Thanks, Julia.  I will let you guys know tomorrow.
