A Stricture!! Hooray!!!
Hi all --
I had my scope today in Medicine Hat and LO and BEHOLD, I did indeed have a stricture. It was down to 5mm and he dilated it to 13.5mm. What a difference..it even felt different. I had a nice modest lunch of half a poached egg and 3/4 strip of bacon (I took the other strip in the car as a high protein snack for later!). I was able to drink water freely. Everything went down like it should.
He read the documentation from the other surgeon about my abcess and seemed very concerned (as much as you can read anything into that face). He gave my belly a feel and said he didn't think I'd have any more problem from the abcess nor did he think it would have any impact on the surgery. I said, "Well then I think this is the beginning of the beginning for me." He said he thought so too.
I"m BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Couldn't have got through this without Lisa my podmate and all of you.
Lisa A.
PS. The scope is a piece of cake, pardon the reference
