I've scheduled this post for while I'm at the Gastroenterologist's doing That Thing I Don't Want To Do. As I recall, my bloggy friend Flea is having hers done today as well. So, here's a toast to us for even going through with this!
I am scared absolutely shitless about having this done, but with enough drugs (Demerol) I should at least survive the procedure, if not the eventual diagnosis. It will be a true miracle if I make it through this deal unscathed. Or make it long enough to complete the procedure. This is totally freaking me out and I'm more than ready to be through with all of this. Or bail.
I'm scared that they will find something bad because for my entire life I've had (ahem!) gastrointestinal problems which was, at long last, diagnosed as IBS. There! I've said it and now it's out in the open. I've had this my entire life, but when I was growing up there wasn't a name for it. I just thought everyone had this, for the longest time. I had no idea that you could live without the pain and embarrassment of this disease. So yah, I. Am. Scared. Throughout my life my guts have put me through Hell, although within the last year I discovered Acidophilus. It restores your *innerds* flora, so to speak. I've experienced great success with Acidophilus, after trying everything under the sun that didn't work. The fact remains that my insides have been through Hell for years. So yes, I'm scared.
Until I surface again (hopefully with a good diagnosis) I am
Yours Truly,
