Back from the doctor...and not what I wanted to hear...

Several years back, i was told my esophigis was eroding and I was possible candidate for surgery to basically link my esophigis to my stomach and strengthen the weak flap that causes GERDS, of course that was human terms, the doctors make it much more complicated. Well after careful consideration I decided I wanted no part of that major surgery and declined. Fast forward 6-7 years, GERDS still awful, my doctor tries to change my meds to make it better, it didnt work, so suggest i have another endoscopy. Well the edoscopy shows severe erosion of my esophogis and ulcers in my esophogis and stomach caused by the severe deteriation of my stomach lining and esophogis...and yet again, i am a candidate for surgery, which is a bit more advanced but still very much invasive. He put me on two different acid blockers to see if that would help and I am supposed to go back in a month to talk about my options. The only thing that scares me, is if left untreated, my risk for esophogeal cancer is very high, and I dont want to put my kids through that, so for once, I may have to consider that when making my decision...doesnt life suck???

I updated my blog to the new blogger, so now i can update...haha...dont you all just love that...

Not too much has happened lately, my daughter has been sick all week, so needless to say i am exhausted. She got sick Sunday night, i took her to the doctor Monday, they barely looked at her, even though i told them to check for strep throat, he sent her home, saying she maybe had the flu, but probably a virus...fast forward two more days, still running 103 fever, i call the doctor back, they tell me to bring her in for a throat swab....oh now you want to listen to me, guess what, i am not stupid, she has strep throat, put her on antibiotics, she was up and down all night last night, getting drink, tossing and turning. She finally decides at 5:00am she has slept enough and it is time for her and me to get up, arent i lucky...now she is home napping, and i am exhausted...oh the fun...

hope everyone had a fabulous Valentines Day!!! Talk to you soon!!
