Cher were you able to get into the cardiologist yesterday? I don't remember a follow up. How are you feeling? Hey I'm ok. I'm going on Monday. It's been a whole thing. Thanks for asking!

I'm sorry you're still dealing with this guster. I know it must be frustrating that no one can pinpoint what's going on. I'm sure you've gotten tons of advice and theories, but one more...diverticulitis? A gastro would look for that. Just a thought... Incidentally...for months my mom was experiencing a pain in her lower abdomen, that she described as a "stitch" (like what you'd get from running). She had tests and ultrasounds done looking for a variety of things but they all came back clear; the pain would sometimes disappear for a few days then return. Then just this past week she said that she felt like it was finally gone for good. So I pass this on to say that weird stuff happens and I hope if you can't find a cause for all this, whatever is going on will eventually clear up on its own. Thank you for your story. It does help. My GI thought I had a stone trapped in my bile duct, but the MRI was clear. This specialist believes I passed that stone which would account for the slight abnormalities in my blood work and the intense pain I experienced that Monday. She believes I have residual effects, mainly stemming from constipation (sorry TMI) from the very bland fiberless diet I followed until today, my multivitamin which contains iron, and an acid blocker the first GI put me on. Tomorrow's colonoscopy prep is to empty and then restart my system. I go for blood work on Monday and resume my normal diet Sunday or Monday. She asked me to make an appointment for a month from now if I am still experiencing any kind of pain or having any bathroom trouble, but she said she doesn't believe she will see me again for a very long time. I have hope that she's right. My pain is pretty much gone -- more than tolerable when it is here and that's in spurts, inconsistent to food or time of day --and my problems this week have really been bathroom related, so her theory and her diagnosis seem accurate. I bought five giant bottles of Gatorade for tomorrow. I hope its enough. On the positive side, I fully expect to feel thin by Sunday

klong11What you can't see is a whole other row on the other side of the dessert tray. We got 4 desserts and split them between the 6 of us. I ordered the goat cheese cheesecake. Everyone agreed it was by far the best.

My mom's dog took a swim in the pond. She smells like dead fish.. it's midnight but I might have to give her a bath. It's awful.

Without the mint then. It looks unappetizing.
