the update

all the tests except one have been completed. so far, a hiatal hernia is the culprit for my symptoms minus the pain. the gallbladder hidascan is on tuesday morning. they inject a dye to highlight my organs, then give me a med that makes my gallbladder contract (?) to see if it is emptying the bile properly. i meet with the doc on wednesday after work to see what is to come. can i mention here that I HATE LIMBO!!!! this whole process was started b/c of something that completely freaked me out and it turns out it was a simple answer...too much pepto bismal. now, after a gamut of tests in three weeks time i've found i have two new conditions and possibly will have to have my gallbladder removed. it's been crazy. and on top of everything else, school is almost over and we don't know what the next 5 years will remotely look like. we know what we are hoping, but have no clue as to what will possibly happen. i have a lot of built up frustrations that i'm waiting to talk about, but never get the chance. . . or don't feel safe enough. . .or . . .
