Thursday I had my gastric emptying study. From the looks of it, nothing is moving (still). You can see a pretty big hiatal hernia, though. I was diagnosed with a small one during my last endoscopy, but my GI didn't want to do anything about it at the time. I'm not sure if it's grown since my endoscopy or not. Maybe it will be worth fixing during surgery in MN, if that ever happens. Dr. Dunn is preparing for a conference that she's hosting this weekend, so hasn't had time to get back to me yet. Hopefully next week. Now that I've decided what I want to do, I want it done now! (I'm so patient...)
Otherwise, things are still about the same. I've had a lot of pain this week and have only made it out of the house for appointments. I wake up several times a night, so I'm tired all the time. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude so I dont start spiraling downwards again, but it's tough sometimes. The waiting game is one of the hardest parts - not knowing the answer and not knowing WHEN my drs are going to give me their recommendations (other than to take more meds). So, keep up the prayers - I need them!
I'm sorry, Megan. Praying for you and your docs...hugs! Aunt Wendy
