Why do I feel like I have the worst cramps ever? Too much air pushed into the belly is all I can guess. It’s never hurt this much. My belly hurts and my b***y lol back home from all the scans and scopes and resting everything g looked ok to the eye but we still have to wait for the all clear from the lab.

All last week we had workers here except Tuesday and Friday. Tuesday I did my Mental health intake appt and voted. Then Fri- Sun I went camping with my WildKind Collective friends. I decided that wasn’t enough physical and emotional stress I might as well throw in a ileoscopy (colonoscopy through angus) , a flex sigmoid and an EGD (throat and stomach) in the schedule 3 days later! Ugh tomorrow I get scoped! Good thing I remembered before I ate lunch LOL Here’s some pics from camp and last week enjoy me getting some quality of life back on this new pain regimen

At my mental health intake appt … I THINK I’m getting tested for different things today but you never know what they end up doing. I’m freaking out but don’t want to take anxiety meds cause I wanted to be “me” and test “me” and not drugged me… ya know! If they do test… who thinks I’ll get new diagnosis?!

medical history... here we go. Guess how many illnesses I will have to type out? the one closest without going over gets the golden onion. Even I don't know for sure honestly.... I've got my medical history open in my physical health online chart to fill out my mental health online chart. ridiculous especially since they will ask me aaalllll this during the damn appointment. I'll let you know the number later!

Mine was about double or triple the size and looked worse than the last one as it had been in the cirrhosis stage for 15 years constantly trying to recoop any little bit of stable liver I had; which made it rough and bumpy. My illness made it swell to 8 lbs (a standard size bag of potatoes minus one large potato) . A healthy liver is about 3 pounds (3 to 4 average avocados).

Did you know there are different leagues of canker sores? Most are minor and are annoying a couple days and go away.

Turns out there are some that are Major. These are bigger, deeper and hurt more and take up to EIGHT WEEKS to heal.

Yeah I have the latter on my bottom lip right on the line where my teeth meet when I chew. And if you notice, your bottom lip helps keep the food in your mouth when you chew, so I almost bite it several times a day if I’m PAYING attention and an like 100 times if I’m not and it fu***ng hurts! So, only liquids for now also per me lol and I have to have a steroid cream for it cause I’m special.

Oh and it still seems to be swelling.

Yay
