So after I fell in Colorado I started having really hard bloody stools for about 4 days. After that I started throwing up everything I ate and I mean everything. So far I have lost 13lbs and I'm not trying UGH!! Plus, I'm exhuasted.... I'm not just talking tired I'm talking exhausted, like going to bed at 7:30pm and sleeping until 7am everyday. NH finally convinced me to go see the Dr. and I did. We decided to do an MRI on my back since the pain was just unbareable and to do a colonoscopy and endoscopy to see what's happening inside me. Well I have since had my MRI and the results aren't terrible but they are not great either. I have Dejenerative Joint Disease in two places in my thoracic and lumbar spine. I have a bone spur on T12 and I have dessication and a bulging disc on L5-S1. So for now we are going to try therapy to help the pain but it's something that is just going to get worse and I will just have to deal with it. I have my colonoscopy and EGD in a couple of weeks and I will let you know what happens with that.
As far as being exhausted it's getting worse and I'm not very hungry anymore either. I'm going to bed around 6 to 6:30 pm and sleeping completely through the night until the alarm goes off in the morning and I swear I could sleep all day if someone would let me. NH is completely freaked out. The Dr. thinks my thyroid is malfunctioning again so I had my blood drawn today and tested. I should know the results tomorrow.
I also found out this week that my Aunt has stage 4 cervical cancer and I'm just devistated. I know that I used to work with death everyday but I almost think that that is why i'm not handling this very well. I know what's coming. I am praying for her everyday and I hope she is not in pain, but I know that she probably is.
Well that's all for now!
