Had a bad day

Hi everyone.  I haven't posted in a couple of days, been busy with my Dad.  He had to go back into the hospital due to his artificial hip is dislocated.  He will be in the hospital for a few days.
My bad day came after trying to eat lunch with my Dad.  I had some scrambled egg with cheese.  It tasted good.  But, after I had got full, my stomach started to hurt, and I got sick and vomited twice.  The second time there was blood, and my new stomach still hurt. I called my doctor and told me to go to the ER to be checked out and have some labs done.  I had been to see her like 3 hours before all of this happened.  I got to sit in the ER for 4 hours today.  They drew my labs, which all came back okay.  They did a barium swallow test to see how things were running.  Because my surgeon is in Denver, nobody would do a scope on me.  But the test showed that I have a ulcer.  Grrr I don't feel so good, and back to all liquids I am for now.  Got started on medication for my ulcer.  All I could think was, "Not another pill!"  But, will do what ever I need to do.  I might have to go over to Denver next week to have a scope done by my doctor if I don't start feeling better.

 Adding you and your dad to my prayer list.  Enough trouble in your life already.  Hope the ulcer med works quickly.  Were you sent home on anything for stomach acid after surgery?  I was sent home on pepcid twice a day for the first 6 months.  Good to find out about an ulcer early, fix it fast.  Take it as easy as you can during this time of healing.  Hugs, Kathy

charlotte, sorry to hear about the ulcer. weren"t u on meds from the beginning?  my doc put me on nexium or something like it from the very beginning because of the possiblity of ulcers.  i sure hope they work. i don't envy you. let me know if there is anything i can do, even if it is just a shoulder to cry on. hugs, vick

Morning, I was not put on anything after surgery.  But, I am now.  I do hope that it gets better soon.  I am hurting a little bit this morning, but having some bad nausea.  God I hate nothing more than hurling.  I like to avoid it at all costs!  Thanks for the prayers for both my Dad and I.  Hmmm might have to have my friend do a witchy spell to make all the stress go away in my life...ha ha
