Dr. Appt

Went to Dratler today and he found some inflamation and ulcerations on my lower esophagus and also some small ulcerations in my stomach. He said they can be treated with medicine and I have a follow up appt in 2 months. He removed a pollup from my colon as well. He took a biopsy of everything and I will get those results in a week. I feel pretty good about things. Time will tell if this is the cause of all my problems, Shortness of breath,Chest pains, no energy, dizziness. I was treated for animeia. I also have a family doctors appt and thats when I,ll find out about my hemoglobin count. When I left the hospital it was at 9.9. I'm told it should be around 13. I will be happy if I see an increase. Its supposed to take a couple of months to recover completely.

Fun Fun Fun

Weds the 12th I get a colonosopy (pardon my spelling) and and upper Gi scope to see where I'm bleeding. Most of the time they said they can fix the problem right there. I hope so. I'm ready to start feeling better. I am not going to be able to go to the gym for at least 2 months.

Another Scare

Saturday night I woke up and with severe stomach pain. I got up to go to the bathroom to throw up and passed out before I got there. Helen heard me fall and called 911. I had to go to the hospital in an ambulace. It turns out I had "gi bleeding" which was caused by my heart medicine. My blood pressure was down to 80/58. I had to get a transfusion and plasma. Thay kept me there till Tues morning. I am better now but its going to take a couple of months to recover.I hope this is the last scare I have for awhile.
