ok, so yesterday I had an upper GI scope thing done. I can't believe how sick I got.  Ok, so I know I am hypoglycemic, and I couldn't eat anything after midnight.  i had to have a little water in the morning to take 3 pills that i absolutely had to have... thyroid, allergy and a pill that provides me with moisture in my mouth and throat.  I can't survive without that moisture one, breathing is brutal without it.

ok, so i went to the hospital as my procedure was at 2pm, but i had to be there at 1pm.  Well he was running late and the procedure didn't even start until after 3pm.  Well, by this point i had missed many of my meds, including pain pills, blood pressure pills and so on.  well, by about 2pm, i started to get a headache.  by 3 pm, my head was in sheer agony.  since i couldn't take anything, I asked for an ice pack.  My head was just in the worst pain ever.  I couldn't even open my eyes anymore. Thankfully they knocked me out as quick as they could and gave me a little something for pain.

the pain meds didn't really help a lot, because I still hadn't eaten or had my meds. but they gave me some crackers and ginger ale and then we got a sandwich ...i didn't make it to Panera, it was 4:30 when we left.  oh, I didn't throw up, and I was thrilled about that.  I talked with the nurse and doc about it, and we dropped some of the stuff they were going to give me.  i was a little queezy but eating and ginger ale helped.

but the damage was done, my whole system was out of whack and my body couldn't take the pressure of it.  They even asked me repeatedly what was wrong with me, why i had the migraine.  i told them the neurologist said migraines are the way my body tells me it is stressed about something, and i could only guess it was due to not eating or not getting my meds in me on time or both. 

By the time we left, i was so sick.  I just wanted to go home and go to bed.  EO did stop to see his mom for about 15 minutes.  Which is she so worth it, but I just couldn't manage to go in myself.  I knew it would have stressed her to see me as bad as I was.  

I don't really remember what i was told about what they found.  I just remember them saying something about it looked ok, but my stomach lining is thickening so they did a biopsy.  Other than that I don't remember what else was said.  But they did say when they get the lab work back on it, they will get a hold of me.

Lauren is starting to do better, but she didn't go to the hall last night because she is still coughing and sneezing more at night.  But i am guessing another day or two she will be over that part of it too.  

Steph wasn't feeling real great either I guess.  I'm not sure what was going on.  When I got home I just went right to bed last night.  I slept for awhile, then woke up about 8:30 when my alarm was going off for taking some of my meds and then was awake for a couple hours.  I ate and took some more meds at 10...that is when my last alarm goes off for the day.  I went back to sleep not real long after that.

I hope I don't have to go through anything like that again.  EVER!  

This morning I was listening to the meeting and near the end of the meeting, my aunt walked in the door.  Oh, I missed her.  We didn't have a long time to visit because she was going over to help my mom pack.  But it was so encouraging to see her.  She always makes me smile, and she shared some things that has helped her, which is the same thing I do, but I have never really talked about.  It was just such a fabulous reminder to not give up and to keep looking forward.

Because this morning, i was actually thinking, which how sick i was yesterday... and we are told how hard it is going to be for us at the end of this system.  I can't imagine how I am even going to manage, when I get so sick after not eating or taking my meds after 18-19 hours.  I was kind of stressing about it, then i was remember he already gives us the power beyond what is normal and he can get us through, we just have to let him.  Then while visiting my aunt, she just help solidify it for me.  See, Jehovah knew, i would be shaken up after what i went through, and I would need a quick assurance on it.  I knew the answer, but if feels like this was his way of giving me a hug.

Well, today, I still have a headache.  Not as bad as yesterday's migraine. But my system was thrown out of whack and I know it will take time to recover.  I am also running a temp.  Now, they warned me if I run a temp, I need to contact them.  But, after what happened, I expected to run a temp.  If the temp doesn't break by tomorrow morning or if it goes any higher than it already has, ... then I will call them.  Right now it is 101.
