My upper GI issues are GERD, gastritis and delayed gastric emptying, the lower might actually be due to the medication I am on. I think it is hilarious you put a picture of your colon on the fridge! I am not sure what all Doc's GI doc will do as far as tests, only one I know I am getting at this point is the stomach scope, there may or may not be more but him and I will have to debate/discuss it, I do not want to subject myself and pay at least part for any test that will tell me what I know and nothing else. Yeah, this could be interesting... It is hard to say about the drink thing, sometimes cold drinks mess with my throat. I will probably blog the experience, or what of it I remember given they are going to hop me up on stuff so I don't gag on the camera and such. If your question about winning is about the "battle" for 4th between TN and NC you are down by one, lol.<BR/><BR/>WeaselMomma: How do you think I knew he wasn't reading it before he told me he doesn't, lol! I hope he doesn't feel guilty for not having time and takes my assurance that I don't mind and understand why he doesn't. Between work and home and being MY doc the poor guy is lucky if he gets a chance to pee probably! I hope neither of us gets colon cancer, at least we'd have the comfort that we died unviolated!The Microblogologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259187351177996677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8990891714620582552.post-26744887763139506052009-01-27T09:17:00.000-06:002009-01-27T09:17:00.000-06:00If Doc ever reads your blog, no doubt you will get...If Doc ever reads your blog, no doubt you will get a psych referral.
