Medical update!

Okay, well where should I begin? My health has been an episode I should write for the series "House!" I have been a medical mystery from January of this year. I have had hernia surgery as most of you know, back six months ago. And since then My life has never been the same. I have been in and out of the ER seven time's Yep I said Seven! With countless tests, X-rays, Blood work, cat Scans. I have been tested for Krohns Disease, Sillyacs disease, ulcerating Colitis. Mean while wasting away, not holding any thing down. Or it going straight through me, and being in horrific pain all the time. Well the specialist I have been seeing lately is a Gastrologist. Dr. Bown he suggested one final test, an endoscopy. So no matter my feelings, I have had no results or answers yet, so I was not even the slightest bit hopeful. When I went in at 7:00a.m. on Thursday the 16th guess what he found?!?!!? ..................

My esophagus I Know I must of miss spelt that! sorry, Grammar is not my better subject! Any who my esophagus was shrunk down to the size of an ink pen Cartridge! (You know if you take a pen apart and the cartridge that holds the ink?!?!) Yes that Tiny TINY tube was my esophagus! So that would explain all my miserable elements! In fact that comparison was what the doctor used as an example exactly! He told me that he put a Balloon down the scope to pump it up and stretch it. He said it should end all my discomfort and vomiting and diarea. He did say it will take some time for my body to adjust and that I may need to get this procedure done two more times to fully cure it. As of right now, I feel average meaning OK! but not in agony, but also not celebrating either. I had a rough morning this morning but the last couple of days were good. I am grateful so GRATEFUL! They did find out what it was, and now we know what to do if it acts up again! Yeah no more ER visits! I am so thankful for all of my family and their support and Prayers! I love you all your Gold! My hubby too, this has been a long road for him and even though were still working on some more bumps your the love of my life. My sweet little spirit, my love monkey!! You light up my life baby boy!
