Yeah I need my meds for sure.

I think that's funny!

Come to chat! We're having fun.

In good news, the weather finally cooled down.

I'm sorry, Innerzone. That's pretty much been my day, too. Now I'm just waiting for "official" bedtime.

I feel much happier and healthier after a pleasant day visiting our art gallery. There was one overwhelmingly spectacular art installation and two neat sculptures, all Indigenous art. Two-dimensional art (paintings) bore me.

I astonished myself by not eating anything the whole time! I came home for a late lunch. Restaurants are > calories. I ate well today and was so excited by my excursion and all the exercise in the heat that i wasn't hungry. Note to Self.

I hope all the people here who feel unwell will get better soon.

@Soupe du jour:

Glad you're keeping France in mind for the future. It's always attracted me. Bien!

I had to go to emergency because the stomach pain was so bad.

They gave me morphine by IV which helped a lot. They want to keep me here overnight. There's a problem with my liver. Will see a specialist tomorrow.

I am sorry for your pain scooter, hope they can tell you what is wrong with your liver and what can be done about it.
I just discovered we have a chat room here, very nice folks in there.

It's your liver that's hurting not your stomach? I'm glad you're being taken care of and that you got seen and taken seriously.

Healing vibes sent your way. Keep us posted, Scooter

The pain was mostly around my navel but today it's right on the liver (right side, just under the ribs).

Yeah I'm glad they allowed me to tell them about the Lamictal reaction and how this problem I'm having now is so similar. The staff really took the time to listen to me and that's really nice.

Hopefully the specialist I see tomorrow will be the same.

Thanks @bizi and @BethRags

I got a most outstanding night's sleep last night, so feel notably better today. I'm glad because Hubby will be heading out soon to visit his family for a couple days. I'm staying home alone.

As a treat, I plan to make some homemade cinnamon rolls. I'll also be making myself some foods that Hubby can't or won't eat. For example, stuff with broccoli (he hates it) and garlic (he's allergic to it). I'm also going to watch on TV whatever I want.

That sounds delightful!

I’m doing well. I’m not getting enough sleep but overall things are well. I got a great spa pedicure yesterday with a fantastic calf and foot massage. It was a sunny, beautiful day but I had some things to do so I didn’t float. That was a mistake as it’s going to rain for the next 4-5 days. Darn! I knew I should have gone.

I talked with my brother last night and although he was pleasant to me he was extremely ugly to mom. It shook her up and upset her. Time for some tough love. I’m going to visit him after my therapy today. We’ll have a talk. We were already concerned about him coming home because he’ll do the minimum possible to care for himself. I can’t let him take us out with him. Truth be told, he needs to be in a nursing home. It’s just taking time for my sister and mom to realize that.

I would love to go to the movies to see Suicide Squad although I doubt it will be as good as the one with Will Smith. I don’t feel like I can with the COVID-19 case rise in my city. Frustrating and unfortunate. Can’t do much safely.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day.

I hope you feel better soon and they can figure out what’s wrong.

[Scooter9]

So they know what's wrong now. I spoke with the specialist.

I have a blockage in my liver that's caused by a gallstone. They say they will remove the blockage and that my gallbladder will eventually have to be removed.

I'll be in the hospital for a few days.

I'm so glad there is a diagnosis and a treatment plan now!

I scheduled an appointment with my primary care doctor for September 16th to discuss getting back on meds for my Silent GERD. The dry coughing, acid reflux, trouble swallowing food, etc has gotten worse over the past year so I want to see if there’s anything that can bring me some relief to this. It’s made things very difficult and I have to rely on protein shakes most of the time. I used to be on meds for it but the med I was on was recalled because it was found that there were high levels of a chemical in it that can cause cancer, so I had to stop it. Then I never bothered going back to my doctor the past year and a half to get back on anything else, stupidly. Because it’s just gotten worse and I could have avoided it if I’d just gone.

Oooh, what color polish did you get? I need a pedi so badly. I think they're really healthy for feet and calves, plus they just feel so good.

Oh, my gosh, Scooter! You will be in my thoughts for a smooth go of this. Please do keep us posted

Do you think psych meds may be causing GERD? I had that happen with one med, can't remember which one.

Possible trigger:

I don't think so, at least, not that I know of. I have an eating disorder that involves/involved restricting, bingeing, and purging, I don't binge or purge really anymore but my psychiatrist said it was likely from all the purging over the years, that it weakened my esophagus sphincter. In addition to the dry coughing, trouble swallowing food, and acid reflux, it also causes dental problems because of the acid flowing up back into my mouth all the time so I really need to get it under control because I have a lot of dental problems too

I feel much better today,, it was a stomach virus. I also slept good last night. Weird dream but good sleep.

Your spa day sounds nice. I'm jealous! I wish I had someone to massage my left foot. Something has been amiss with it for a while.

It certainly can be tough the idea of putting a loved one in a nursing facility, but it makes things easier. Obviously, for my sister, brother, and me, but really my father is happier there than at home. He never plans to return home. Luckily his Long Term Care insurance finally now pays for it. I hope your brother either has such a thing or that Medicare or Medicaid would pay. Given your brother's condition, I'd think something could be worked out.

My apartment complex is having a BBQ grab-and-go thing today. So you can just go down and get a takeout container filled with BBQ food they made to take home. so I’m gonna go down and get some in a few minutes.

My doctor still never called me back. I’m sleeping 2-4 hours a night. I’m getting really sick of it and it’s making my paranoia about my neighbors worse, I’m having panic attacks every night. I hope they call me back soon. Maybe nobody ever told her to call me even though they said they would. Idk. It’s frustrating because I have the med that would help me, I just want to go back to my old higher dose, but I don’t want to do that without her saying I can/giving me permission to do it even though I know she would. All I’d have to do is just take a second chlorpromazine pill like I was on recently. I should probably just do it at this point. It’s been a over a week of this now.

Maybe I need to take the perphenazine again? I asked to go off it and stopped it like a week ago but she did say she’d still prescribe it in case I still need it. Maybe I should just start that again since the problems started after I stopped that?
