[VFB] Thoughts and prayers needed

2013-11-30 Thread Chuck Alexander
Folks: I need your thoughts and prayers. This Tuesday morning I have to have 
both an Upper Endoscopy and a Colonoscopy (PLEASE God let them use two 
DIFFERENT tubes LOL) as I have been having stomach/intestinal pains since late 
July or so. It got s bad, that in August I had to go to the ER and they 
kept me for three days running all sorts of tests, starting with tests on the 
heart as a man (or woman) of 55 with any type chest or abdominal pain, that’s 
the first thing they rule out. Thought it was my gall bladder because the pain 
radiated in back from between my shoulder blades to down and in front at my 
abdominal area. Ruled that out with CT scans, and  ultrasounds, and said though 
the gall bladder a little inflamed, there were no stones, or blockages. Plus, 
they did a Mio View stress test for my heart and said they saw little or no 
blockages, so I was glad to hear that. But SOMETHING is making it hurt 24/7. My 
doc says it could even be scar tissue/adhesions attaching themselves to my 
intestines as I had to have FIVE Hiatal Hernia repair surgeries, and have three 
plastic meshes in there now, along with 27 staples, and over 200 permanent type 
stitches.  I hope they find out what it is, but just hope it’s something that 
can be easilly corrected as this pain is getting to be a major pain. And NONE 
of the meds my new doc I found while in the hospital prescribed me. That’s was 
the good part about that whole thing too. I went to a different hospital than 
the one we normally use, as we moved two years ago, and the one I now use is 
closer, and I love my new doc who is now our new Family Doc. Thanks a lot, Chuck
