Not sure.... it was awful..... unrelenting and I couldn't make it stop.....
I have been drinking a lot of pop and eating a little too christmas-y......so back on the plan and only water now

My test said I had redness and some inflammation where my esophagus goes in to the stomach.... maybe I re irritated it?

I had surgery and took tylenol.. for me to take a pain pill it is bad...

I'm very similar. I have a low tolerance for pain but also a low threshold for pain meds. I can usually get away with using tylenol.

Do you have Barretts? Soda can really irritate that.

 

[Lilianna23]

Always get the worst thing crossed off the list... then go from there..... that is what we did in the er.... make sure you don't have the thing that will kill you and discharge to your doc to figure out what is making you miserable or to fix the non life threatening thing we figured out while doing tests for the super serious thing..........

Exactly! Do what K says @HumpDayHoratio!

I like Stone weight…

17 stone sounds better than 238lbs

I like kg weight for the same reason!

Me: "Hey! I've lost some weight! I don't weigh near what I used to."

Provider: "That's kg weight. Multiply by 2.2."

Me: "Oh..." (heart sinks)

 

[Lilianna23]

Finally. All caught up. wait...
*refresh*
Yep, caught up at least for the moment.

Speaking of catching up...

I do envy people who are lucky enough not to have to play the chronic disease game solo. That's its own little drama llama IMO

That was my initial reaction too. But I've never worked for either the federal government or the military so also falls into "I don't know what I don't know"

When I had my GI issues, I read that the carbonation can be problematic. It can slow down digestion, I believe? Well I don't drink pop, I do enjoy unflavored carbonated water. Sometimes the bubbles feel good and sometimes they don't. But might be worth it looking into. I remember as a child getting some flat soda sometimes for a stomach ache. Can't remember if it was cola, clear, or Ginger ale. But it was almost always flat.

Was it the actor John Ritter who had an aortic aneurysm? Very scary! So glad you're following up and looking into this. Hopefully they do some sort of a cancellation list where they can call you if somebody cancels their appointment before you're scheduled to go in.

holidays can be rough. Thinking of you and everyone else who is missing someone at this time of year.

Yes, the one I posted offers heat therapy only. I'm glad you found one that swings both ways.

I would love a good therapeutic massage! I am simply too ticklish. I have had more than one professional therapist extend my appointment time, and ultimately return my money saying they put more knots in than they removed.

If it gets you in sooner? 100% approve of that plan

Just until spring? Then back to Watertown again

That sounds like a very apt description. Thank you for keeping them over there by you.

Agreed. I learned about stone weight the year I studied in Scotland. The only scale in the place where we stayed measured in stones.

Nice! And lovely of him for trying to pay for the goods he received. Not everyone would follow up like that.

Excellent. My work here is done.
Just kidding but do love that you're looking stuff up. I always love when people reach for a reference source.

Personal PSA:
I'll be away most of this weekend. Out of town surprise party for my SIL's bday. Roads and weather will determine if I drive to/from Saturday or stay over until Sunday.

I love these recaps, Likes! Yes, John Ritter died of an aortic dissection (rupture). RIP

Be careful driving!

 

[Lilianna23]

If cats get the zoomies.... do they get speeding tickets?

I possess something I call cop-dar. I almost always know when there's a cop in my vicinity. IDK how, but I do. Yesterday, when I was driving to my dr appointment, I was driving in the HOV lane with my pass. (Here, one can pay a bit to drive in the HOV lanes on some of the freeways.) I has been driving just a bit (or more) over the speed limit when I unconsciously backed off on my speed. I saw a vehicle far behind me in the same lane. As it got closer, I moved out of the lane so the vehicle could pass me. Sure enough, it was WSP!

 

[Lilianna23]

OK…this is weird.

According to my mother. We’re related to the Ritter’s!. Tex Ritter was my maternal grandmothers first cousin…talk abut some family history…I had forgotten that’s what John died of

The good news is I’m all signed up and get my test on Monday morning. Gonna take it real easy through this weekend!

EXCELLENT! I'm so glad you got an expedited appointment!

 

[Lilianna23]

Tell em Dr lil and Dr k told you to take bedrest.

Take it easy. Glad you found a quick appt.

We're not the MDs. We are the ones the MDs listen to (if they're smart!)

 

[Lilianna23]

Holy ! So gladyou've got the test soon.
Talk about coincidence & family history...yes, mention it for the family medical history
Who says random bar trivia has no practical use?

agreed - be a good patient

not just from the sugar IMO

there you go!
betcha that doesn't have bubbles either

We have such a rich diversity of knowledge here!

 

[Lilianna23]

The little old 45-70 is flinging a 325 grain boolets here. Although some guys like the 430+ grain heavies. That's getting close to the arrow weight for the compound.

Broadhead for that is 125Gr, although considerably slower at 262 fps.

I have absolutely no idea what this all means!

 

[Lilianna23]

I will be the pretty one in the corner politely listening qnd nodding g as if I understand a damn thing about it...... hahahaha

I'll be sitting next to you! We can talk glitter! ️️

Did you have a good day, B2? ️

I had a fantastic day yesterday. My granddaughter was so cute dancing and singing children’s songs. Then I went to lunch with my GF at a German restaurant where we had sides like red cabbage and potato salad, cheese and bread and a giant piece of 4 layer carrot cake.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

I’m up way too early as got a call from my son at 2 am. It was about his mom, my X, who had a dementia episode. She called him wanting him to get her and take her home. She is in an assisted living facility. As he has autism, he was having difficulty handling this. And he called his reliable old dad.

I called him down. But I could not get back to sleep. I know I have to live a long life as my adult kids especially my son needs me. It’s a challenge but I accept it.

Sending to whoever needs it and knowing we have each other’s back here no matter what challenges you are facing.

 

[Lilianna23]

We were gods before and, by golly, we'll be gods again!

 

[Lilianna23]

When it comes to heart issues, I only see cardiologists initially. I get weird stuff and PAs don’t have the experience or education. A lot of doctors don’t either but there is a better chance they do.
EKG show electrical workings of the heart, not the heart walls, valves, blood movement, fluid where it shouldn’t be, possibly blockage or aneurysms.
If you feel off I’d push for an endocardigram, cardiac mri or whatever.
If your pain increases over the weekend, seriously consider it an emergency.

Btw Jon Ritter died in surgery for an aortic dissection which is a tear and not an aneurysm.
An aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of a blood vessel, caused by a weak spot.

I hope it’s nothing that serious and can be treated by medicines.
I am definitely with you on the pain and taking it heart easy right now. I’m two days into meds.

 

[Lilianna23]

You’re welcome and thank you!
I know way too much about aneurysms because Byron died of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. I actually somehow convinced a cardiologist to check me for one just in case. I do have EDS so it was reasonable to do it, though the cardiologist didn’t know that.

I hope your cardiologist is monitoring you yearly for it.

Your son is so lucky to have you, B2! Hugs back to you. I hope you got back to sleep! I'm headed there soon!

 

[Lilianna23]

It's not yet 0200 on Saturday morning and I've caught up! I hope the rest of you are sleeping in on this weekend day or, if you're on the other side of the world, having a good start to your day. I'm getting ready to go to sleep. I've had a busy week.

Tomorrow (today), my broken tree comes down. I hope it has another life warming people.

I might, or might not, have construction ppl here. IDK. One guy said he would be here at 1000, another said no one will be here tomorrow. SSDD.

Have a stellar Saturday, everyone! ️

Maybe if I can keep a cardiologist. I’m on my third.
