So today it took me over 2 hours to get home after the major wind and rain storm we had last night. There were trees all over the road and water. Needless to say after working 16 hours I was already tired and then 2 hours waiting on the road for them to clear the trees and the accident that happened because some people do not know how to slow the fook down!!
I did some research today on Barrett’s Esophagus and will also mean with the doctor and talk some more. I need a barium swallow to make sure no tumor hiding in the esophagus walls but other than that just the medication and some lifestyle changes and will try to maintain.
Talk about diet changes! I have a whole list now of things I cannot eat, are you ready???
No tobacco cause it weakens the esophageal muscles. That is okay cause I dont’ smoke or chew tobaccy
No chewing gum, hard candy, whole milk, ice cream, fats or oils, chocolate, peppermint or spearmint, caffeinated beverages, carbonated beverages, spicy or acidic foods, citrus fruits or juices, red meat, bananas, cream soups, fried food, tomatoes and MOST FAST FOODS!!! WTF, that just about eliminates everything from my diet
Okay, just some things about me. I love hot spicy food. Tomatoes I could eat forever especially the ones I grow in my little patch in the back yard. I love my bananas from my tree. Ice cream is my favorite dessert in the whole world. Now the rest I can give up, but I just know I am going to have to cheat once in a while with the others and pay the price which I know will be pain. But at least right now I don’t have to worry about it as I have 0 appetite with the Barretts and the hernia and the fact that I am now leaking blood outta my butt. Okay too much information I know, sorry
It must be from sitting on the pitty potty
Shit, I love V8 veggie juice, its got fricken tomatoes in it!
Okay, and then I started the darn drugs today and I am taking hand fulls. I wanted to be an old woman that did NOT take drugs. Especially cause you see all these older people come into the ER with their bags of drugs and their poly pharmacy and they have no idea what they are taking or why, just that their doctors told them to, and they don’t even know what they are for….and WTF! I didn’t want to be like that when I got older, I wanted to be hip and healthy and no drugs and rockin in my fifties. And now I am going to be a little old blue haired lady with my bag of poly pharmacy
Waaaaa! And my tummy hurts :( And my esophagus hurts :( And my butt hurts :( Waaaaaaaa!
And I don’t wanna be at work
Okay, that is enough of the pitty shit, life goes on, and you all with just have to put up with the blue haired gal, cause she is goin rock.
Love ya all, and thanks for the words of cheer :) Gotcha…..thought I was gonna roll over didn’t ya????? ![]()
