Worry

I just got a letter from the clinic saying I needed to come in ASAP because of abnormal abdominal x-rays. I've been having a lot of sickness lately as those of you who follow my journal know. So tomorrow, as soon as Urgent Care opens I'm going there to get checked out. I don't know what they found, but I'm worried. I hope they don't have to do a colonoscopy. it was the "you must come as soon as possible" that got to me. The last letter I got from them said that I had to go see my doctor on the 5th. Now they are saying come in ASAP. At least I don't have to pay for Urgent Care like I do for the ER. I just don't know what's wrong. I've been having all this health issues, and I'm taking my pills and still vomiting. Not as much, just once today, but still.... you would think it would have gone away by now. I tried eating dinner slowly and that helped. There was a couple times when I could feel my body getting ready to barf so I stopped eating for a bit until my stomach calmed down. I've been drinking Ensure to help with the vitamins because my stomach is not absorbing things like it should. At least that's what the doctor told me. I haven't thrown up  Ensure yet. Everything else, yes, but not the Ensure. I guess it's gentle on my poor stomach. 
I'm trying to follow the plan the ER doctor gave to me- whole wheat everything, no white stuff. But I did have a cup of rice with dinner (stir fry chicken thighs, broccoli, mushrooms and onions) so that had a lot of veggies. I also had a salad for lunch. I'm trying to pack in the veggies and take my fiber. She said that it could take up to a month for my intestines to clear. Not fun.

Awwwwww Larissa :( I am hoping its nothing serious.... logic tells me if it was really serious i would hope they would called you and told you. Maybe they can give you some different medicine to get you feeling better since it sounds like they are on to clue to why you are not feeling very good lately. Thinking about you.....HugggzZzzzz

:( what scary news about getting a letter to come asap. I so hope it is nothing serious, maybe you just have to follow a certain diet, could you be allergic to gluten, that causes extreme stomach pain and sickness. as said above it does sound like they finally have an idea about what may be going on, so I hope so much that they do and you can start feeling better. many hugsss
