GI
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Tuesday, March 25, 2014
So I have my upper GI test today. But it won't be until about 1pm or so.
So say they wanted me in at 8am... they would say not to eat anything after midnight. (8 hrs)
yet, I am having my test done 5 hours later, but they still tell me I can't eat anything until after 1pm. (13 hrs)
oh well... I just hope my hypoglycemia doesn't cause me too much trouble today. It will but, I hope it will be minimal. I am going to throw some food in my purse so as soon as I am done throwing up, and can eat something. I do hope he changes his sedative so I don't have to throw up.
The things we go through.
I am already anxious about it. So I will have to figure out how to chill out.
I woke up early because my feet were freezing. I really wanted to sleep late so that this not eating thing would go easier. But I fell asleep earlier than normal. I just totally conked out last night. I guess all the cleaning and sorting that EO did wore me right out. heehee. well, I did some too, but mostly i saw and packed boxes for the girls. I was up a long time. too. Then i'm sure nerves and stress for everything that is going on had some part in it as well.
Yesterday my lymph nodes were super swollen under both arms, but EO set the boxes for me on the chair and i could keep one arm raised up with the back of the chair and the other one I had up on another box, and it most likely looked stupid, but I was able to still pack boxes for the most part.
Today they aren't as sore, just a little tender today. But I do have all sorts of other pains going on. But I will take what I can get.
If I am doing well enough afterwards, I would love to go to Panera for the first time. I told Steph, that if I have too much trouble I might not get out of there before she is off from work. But I would still like to go see the place. But knowing me, I won't get to this time around. I just hope I am well enough to stop and see Carol. That is what is the most important. If nothing else, I will lay down in the car so EO can spend an hour with her.
