What's Next

I saw our General Practitioner to see what the next step is. I have two referrals, one for a surgeon and another for a Gastrointestinal specialist. Scott will be calling the British Hospital in the morning to schedule appointments. In the past we have been able to get appointments there within a week, or so, and we're hoping it will be the same with these appointments.

In the meantime I have been given another prescription for a medicine that is supposed to help reduce the pain by emptying my stomach faster. At least that's what I understood from his explanation. Anyway I need to take that medicine plus the liquid antacid and the Prilosec.

This certainly is becoming quite the adventure for me. I am having to learn to take it easy and let others care for me, and/or my responsibilities. Having the daily pain really is exhausting though, so I'm thankful for the opportunity to rest. And we're all finding out that Scott is a very good cook!!!
