In and Out

I had my Gastroscopy yesterday. It's the procedure I had mentioned in an earlier post. It's where a tube is inserted into the esophagus and looks for discrepencies in your stomach! It's awful, but as with most things...I had no choice! It went well. Dr. says I don't need to have the Banding procedure on my veins! This is very good! He took a biopsy of "something" down there as well but won't know results until later. Not too worried about that though. I do however, have Gastritis. It's just a fancy name for inflammation of the stomach lining. Now I can add a new medication to my repertoire...yay! I'm going to have to buy a XLJUMBO size pill container..hahaha...
I really don't know how many more meds I can handle...it's like having another meal at meal times. Super filling!

So, I have to stay away from spicy/acidic foods and drinks to help ease pain, which is sad because I was just starting to like a little spice...not to mention coffee!!

Until next time...xxoo
