Waiting Game
Still waiting. Had the EGD this morning and they found an abrasion where my esophagus meets my stomach, but don’t think that is the problem. They tried to do the small bowel follow-through test but found that I still had a ton of contrast in my system from Wednesday. So I’ve just finished a bottle of nasty laxative medication chased with a yummy sugar-free grape popsicle. I’ve developed an allergy to the tape and to the nameband material so I have a wicked rash on my left arm. They just came in to slather me in Benadryl cream, give me a morphine shot and drop off my nightly Cymbalta. The doctor says they will follow tomorrow’s test with an abdominal ultrasound to rule out gallstones. I’m hoping I’ll be discharged tomorrow night or Friday depending on what they find and that whatever it is won’t require a surgical remedy!
Pumpkinhead is getting a little more worried and missing me, but I’ve been calling regularly. Other than my family, I’ve only heard from one classmate but that was nice. I’m bored and lonely but keeping occupied with CNN, MSNBC and a good dose of Lifetime.
Oh, and Bloglines!!

Yikes . . . poor Pumpkinhead. At least he’s being well-cared for. I hope you keep feeling better . . . *sigh* . . . and that this miserable period of your life ends soon!
