My health seems like dominos falling or a house of cards. Thankfully, I am mentally stable right now. The gastroenterologist did a follow up endoscopy to see if the medicine helped. Nope. Still acute erosive ulcers and he further found out that my stomach is not working properly. I have a radioactive isotope 4 hour scan test next week. My liver enzymes are terribly out of whack and my kidney function is down. They did a c reactive protein test cardiac on a whim I guess. 1 is low risk and 3 and over is high risk of cardiovascular event occurring. My factor was well above 3. I was reviewing the doctor’s notes and the anesthesiologist had rated me at severe systemic disease. I sure didn’t need to see that. My platelets are high and the doctor told me that meant inflammation and possibly infection somewhere. That is a lot of wrong things to fix. The cherry on top is the unrelenting pain that popped up with my severe anemia.

I hope everyone that celebrates Thanksgiving had a good one. I was too ill to attend either celebration that day. I snuggled on the couch with the dog, a good book and a glass of egg nog.
