I REALLY hope everything will be just fine and that you won't have to go back to hospital and that you'll be given the opportunity to spend Christmas at home with your hubby..


I send all my good vibrations along with virtual cherries in chocolate and extra soft cuddless






witcha

ooh, chocolate covered cherries! You know the way to my heart. *big hug* And since they're virtual I can have them! *giggles*
 
LOL Smart ass. Actually we are all having a bit of a chuckle about what we're praying for. My mom says she's been doing the 'poopy raining down dance' every day. *giggles* She was trying to get me to laugh, and it worked.
 
Ok, dr finally called me back. I'm on my way to the ER to get a stomach x ray. The idea is to find out if I'm constipated or if I'm constricted. If i'm constricted I'll get admited, if not I go home. Either way, I'll get on and let you all know what's going on tonight.
hugs

Wow.

Thank you so much, that you would write this just for me. You have no idea how much it means to me that you all care about how I am, and how I'm feeling. And yes, it is nice to Lit to come to. It's a safe place for me, and that's important. I won't go places where I don't feel safe.

To tell the truth, I figure that when I let all this take my sense of humor and I stop smiling that it wins, and I refuse. I will not be defined by my health. I am more than a health statistic, I am more than my illnesses. When it wins, I might as well just give up and die. I refuse.

Thanks all for the prayers and good vibrations and thoughts. Thanks for the support, and for distracting me when I'm depressed. *hugs*

I GOT MY OWN THREAD! :D

:kiss:

You deserve your own thread :nana:

Well, I had my small bowel follow through today. That, for those who won't know is where they have me drink something called barium. Barium is completely indigestible, but it also shows up on xrays. Then they x ray it as it goes through your body. My drs wanted to be sure that my crohns disease hasn't moved from my large intestine (my colon) to my small intestine. Just fyi, it's very rare for crohns disease to be in only the colon, like with me.

The good news is that it is not in my small intestine at this point. It is in my ileum, which is new. (The ileum is the part of the intestine that attaches the large and small intestine.) But it's very small, and not really causing problems. The radiology dr said it's even possible it's a result of acid reflux from my colon, and it might heal up when my colon heals. Of course I'll be asking my GI to be sure, cause she's the expert. But I can hope.

The bad news is that even with the amount of barium, and all the laxatives they gave me yesterday I am not pooping as much as I should be. (Only a little yesterday - none today or the day before.) This pretty much means that I am probably developing an obstruction, and will need surgery. If this is true, the surgery will only be on a small portion of my colon, just to remove the part that isn't healing right. We knew that there was a chance this could happen. Please pray/send good vibrations (giggles) that I start going, because I really really REALLY don't want to go back in the hospital. I don't think I can stress how much I want to stay home. I especially don't want to spend christmas there. And quite frankly, I don't want to have surgery. *sigh* Also, quite frankly, the barium is hurting me. I want it out!

So that's what's going on. I'll keep you all posted as I learn more. I will be calling the doctor today to let her know about the lack of bm's, and to find out what she says about the whole ileum thing. I am not going to be surprised if I post from the hospital this evening. That's another thing you can pray/vibrations/etc about. I'm feeling really down and depressed about all this. I am desperately trying to be a good sport and all that about this, but . . . well it's 6 am, i'm waiting for my pain meds to kick in, and I'm just freaken tired. It's sometimes hard to be good natured about all this. I am so fucking sick of being sick.

*huggles and snuggles* I do hope it doesn't come to surgery :( I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Good news! The xrays came back clear! I have never been so excited to be constipated in my life. K's at the store picking up some milk of magnesia for me right now. If that doesn't work they'll prescribe me something, but we all want to try this first.

*does a little dance*

Thank you everyone for the praying and all. *great big hugs all around*

LOL If it was that easy, believe me I would have gone by now. I've sat and sat and sat on that damn toilet, hoping that somethin'd happen. All that happened was my feet went to sleep. *sigh* the joys of being short.
