Afternoon! The upper and lower gastro tests were done with no problems. I didn’t see or know anything while they were doing it. I did see them wheel me into a room with HUGE tv monitors, and about 10 smaller ones. I guess everybody had to watch! They found nothing major but did say the entire throat to the other end was irritated and had white spots. They took samples and I will find out what that is the end of this week. I did get some medicine that cuts my stomach acid in half because one of the problems I always seem to have was when I did eat something, it seemed like it was ready for the bathroom way too soon. Come to find out, if I am making too much acid, the stomach will push it out even before it gets all the nutrients from it! The other issue we are looking at (I gotta do more lab tests tomorrow) is one day I feel decent, but other days, like today, I have zero energy and feel like passing out. You can’t drive a truck that way. The doctor checked my pressure and it is extremely low (82/58). The difference between simply laying down and standing up was 22 points! Also, standing up made my heart race. Now all that would would take the energy and make me feel dizzy. So, while we are trying to figure all this out, we keep doing what we can. Next doctor appointment is next Tuesday! Keep the prayers coming, and we will get me all sorted out.
