No More Wheat Day!
Feb. 3rd, 2009 02:51 pmToday I went up to the hospital and had an endoscopy. It was probably the least pleasant procedure I've had done. Blech! Possibly in compensation, it has the nicest nurses. Still, blech! I have had a duodenal biopsy taken to finally, absolutely rule out coeliac disease. I've also had a stomach biopsy taken and seen a photo of the inside of my stomach (largely pink) because the doctor found a half-healed ulcer and some ulcerous striations. So all the acid pain of last week kicked off by the wheat? More proof that stuff is just Not My FriendTM. Bah, humbug! And even more annoyingly, I have to go back for *another* endoscopy in 10 weeks. Now I've had one, I'm *so* not looking forward to it. Volunteers to go for me? Anyone? No? *sigh* I suppose I'll just have to suck it up and take it like a woman. Which is to say, block it from my mind until a few days before. *grin* Also? Sword-swallowing is not the career for me.
Blech!
Still, no more wheat. So my oomph should come back in a couple of days. Who knows, I might even make it into work this week! What a crazy idea!
The snow is pretty much gone here - just some ice. Meh. It was lovely yesterday, though. I'm going to go put the heater on, though. :)
