A lot of you know that I went to the hospital a week ago and then a couple days before that. Well yesterday my primary sent me to a new ER because I told him that I was having a lot of stomach pain and was unable to eat and throwing up and not able to keep anything down.
So he sent me to the big hospital which is about 40 minutes away from home and he met us there. But they did a ultrasound on my stomach they did blood drive and they found gallstones and something with bile duct and sludge and all kinds of stuff going on. So they gave me a anti-nausea medicine told me to cut out all fatty and creamy food and told me to eat more frequent smaller meals throughout the day. They also sent me home with a pain medicine and told me to call a specialist to set up a surgery I called them this morning and we still have haven't gotten a call back. Well yesterday morning now but you know what I mean.
So tomorrow I guess I will follow up with them and see what's going on. But the doctor that was working under my primary in the ER sat down and explained things better than any of the other Yard Doctors could. And I left feeling a little better than I have leaving other ER. It doesn't really help the long and the breathing and the esophagus issues that I'm having but if we can get the stomach issues off the controls I'm having and maybe getting feeling better in the next few weeks
So I will be having at least two procedures done one on my esophagus and then one on my gallbladder which will probably be my gallbladder being taken out. But because I'm on blood thinners they have to schedule it and take me off the blood thinners before they can schedule the surgery because that makes me very high risk.

I dont think insurance is going to cover the surgery so I am going to have to figure out how to pay for that, either fundraise or sell shirts or something.

I hope everything works out. Drink apple juice that is suppose to help when you have gallstones.
