I am a hot mess.
Lately I have been to so many drs and not getting anywhere. On January 19th I had my gallbladder taken out. The surgery was flawless, and recovery was ok some minor set back but I got over them. The one thing I was pretty upset about was the fact I was still having problems. I told my surgeon and he suggested to get an endoscopy to rule out heartburn and sent me on my way. Then since I was really annoyed with this and still getting pains I mentioned this to my primary and we started some blood work. It all came back normal, slightly elevated liver enzymes. So I was like ok still having the pains what's going on. He sent a referral to a gi specialist who has to "review" my chart before he will even schedule an appointment. Their office told me if symptoms still continue are emergent to go to the ER. Well after being shafted and having these problems still I went into the ER. He took my history and did an ultrasound as well as a chest x ray. both came back fine. I am at a stand still. Why am I having these pains.He prescribed an anti spastic med, it is supposed to help with my stomach to not be so irritated from not digesting well. I then was talking to my pharmacist about the med, he was surprised that this was prescribed when there is other meds that work better. My doc refilled what I have since it is working. Finally able to getting to a gi specialist mid April, and also on the waitlist if someone cancels. Which the receptionist says is highly unlikely.
Among all of my stomach, and gi problems I was talking to my obgyn about looking at if I have endometriosis. Since I have reached my max in benefits why not fix something that has been affecting our sex life. I don't wanna go too much in detail but if you were to look up the symptoms of endometriosis I hit most of them. It is and nasty thing to have. On the 25th of February I went in to have a laparoscopic diagnosis surgery. He found a spot of endometriosis, and he also found something that has been causing discomfort. Since I am still kinda groggy from the anastasia I plan on waiting to call him and discuss what he found. The fact he found endometriosis and fixed what he found makes me relieved, I know it proly won't 100% fix the problems I deal with on a daily basis. But I am hopeful for some relief. To top most of this off I have been feeling depressed quite a bit lately. It is a very hard pill to swallow, and since I know the warning signs of depression I am trying to nip this in the butt before it gets worse. So as of now I am on a pharmacy of drugs, but all of them are working and once we start to figure out my gi problems I hope to get my life back and start working out and doing things I want to. Me and Russ went for a walk around the block, and then to albertsons. It sure was nice to get out and walk this is what I hope to continue this and then come home and eat dinner.
As all this is going on we moved. All our stuff is out of the old place except for Lucy's bed and Russells bike. We are working on cleaning up the old place it is really hard when immediately we step in the place and instantly feel sick from how much dirt is in the place. In our new place we have 3 bedrooms, separate living and dining areas, 2 bathrooms, we just got new washer and dryer, plus we have a dishwasher that works. since we have moved I have done well to keep up with dishes. Also trying to keep up on laundry with our new washer and dryer. We are loving our new apartment.
An update on the kids. Lucy is grown she is 3 feet tall and hardly weighs 40 pounds. still is in pre-K at Valley Christian and she loves it there. We plan on getting her into kindergarten at CM Russell. Leon has a bit of colic, we changed his formula from the similac advance to the enfamil gentle ease. We are slowly inducting some baby food since it doesn't seem like was to more than just formula and cereal. Leon loves it and wants more. He is grown, he is now in 3-6 month clothes. Russell is doing well I am very thankful that he has been by my side for most my surgery's, he missed my recent on cause he had to work. But his fill in for my recent surgery was really helpful. I appreciate all the help I was able to get from my family through all of this mess of problems I have been dealing with. I hope the worst is over with. I am very thankful for his work to help and be so accommodating to all the stuff. I have been dealing with lately. I hope that soon I can make it up to their office and make something for the here soon.
thanks for reading this.
