So, I finally, at long freaking last, had my gastroenterology appointment today. It's bonkers that they scheduled this nearly a year ago, but here we are.

Part of my physical health issues revolve around a one-in-a-million genetic disorder that can affect my entire body, but particularly involve my GI tract. Think tumors, growths and the like. So, the doc scheduled a colonoscopy for me, something I've had the dubious pleasure of having semi-regularly since 19. Besides that, he got in contact with an oncologist (since this genetic disorder also carries an increased risk of cancers at a much younger age) to see if they would act as a care coordinator for the various doctors and specialists.

On a more immediate note, I've got to figure something out to address this reflux. Again, there's no obvious trigger other than laying flat in bed. Probably gonna have to find a way to sleep propped up for a while. The GI doc wants me to double up on the Prilosec my PCP prescribed for a month and see how that fares. Just gotta find a happy medium!

On a fun note, I'm revisiting a book that I've loved since childhood, Matilda. I saw and loved the movie with Danny Devito back in the day and the same for the recent musical. It seemed like time!
