Hunger and Thirst

I am only going to write a short entry today because I have to get ready to go for another medical test. Ugh...

This time it is an upper endoscopy or EGD. I've had one before. The gastroentrologist sticks a scope down your throat and looks at your esophagus, stomach and small intestine. Last time the GE found that I had GERD, a hiatal hernia, and bile reflux (the bile which belongs in the small intestine was seeping up through the lower stomach sphincter and into the stomach--not good!)

This new GE that did the colonoscopy for the ischemic colitis I don't think believed any of that so he wants to see for himself and treat me for it. He was also unhappy with one of the meds that my family doctor had me on, felt that I shouldn't be taking it, and so I think wants to prove that I shouldn't be taking it.

Whatever...

So I am currently fasting from food and drink since last night when I went to bed.

That was actually quite early for me--about 10 pm--because I was exhausted from work. I was there until about 6 o'clock which put me home too late to really nap so I just sat on the sofa like a zombie with a massive headache. I've been having the headaches almost daily now for the last week and a half and been so so tired. And I wonder why I can't write and can barely even read...

Well, I said I wouldn't drone on and on, so I won't.

I just want to go back to bed. After I drink about a gallon of water and eat about six eggs a half a loaf of toast and a pound of bacon. I'm not usually hungry but I think it's just knowing that I CAN'T eat that makes me want to!

Pinky out!
