I wasn't able to eat anything for most of the week. I was getting pretty weak an tired.
Went to the ER Friday swiftly got taken in for an Upper GI imaging, then straight to OR for
an Endoscopy. Which found the opening of my stomach was blocked.
The block was removed but I have to eat foods that require no chewing for the minimum of 10 days, when
I see the surgeon again.
This thing knocked on my butt big time. Luckily no invasive surgery as yet, but my dance card is sure filled up
suddenly with appts
It's been a whirlwind of couple days, so I will be on and off, but always wondering what comments are posted that
would make me laugh.
I will pop in just not regular for awhile. ☮️ & ❤️
 
@IrishEyes I hope you are feeling better and have a full recovery soon...hugs. 🧡

Sorry to hear this but on the bright side it sounds like they found the issue and you are where you will get care. I've had two endoscopies over the last few years for different reasons. They removed the block and that's good.

I also can empathize on what never ending appts are like. Hopefully you will come through this and not have months or a year on end with such.
You certainly have my prayers.

I hate being hospitalized but after a few days I get used to it and start to like a few parts of it but when you can't order food that you can chew that eliminates one of those things. So socialize if you feel all right and enjoy that part and if you are allowed to get around and leave the room, take advantage of that.
 
Sorry you've had to go through this, and sending you best wishes for a speedy recovery. As others have said, be glad they caught it quickly. Please, please, please be thankful it was corrected.

My father had severe stomach pains right before Thanksgiving 2000. We took him to the ER, they did a sonogram and found nothing. The ER doctor released him, saying "try not to work out as hard". When we got him home, he started throwing up and couldn't hold down any food. We couldn't take him to a specialist due to the holiday. He passed away that Sunday due to a twisted bowel that could have been corrected. I won't go into all the details of how we found him laying on the floor outside the bathroom, but suffice to say it must have been one of the most painful deaths anyone could endure.
