Update for my information . . .
On June 28th, three weeks ago tomorrow, I had an endoscopy to try to ascertain the cause of my sometimes very severe stomach distress. At that time they found a polyp in my stomach, but because my step-daughter was getting married on July 5th in California, the doctor chose to wait to remove it, thereby not creating any potential problems. So, instead I had it removed today. We had to be at the office by 6:15. Had to leave our house at 5:30. . . Night owl that I am, I hadn't even gotten to bed until three (I was a bit anxious) so when my honey got up at 5 a.m. so did I. I knew I was going to be put to sleep for the duration of the procedure anyway and would have all day to nap if necessary. As it happens, I don't sleep much anyway. Guess I got a little over an hour of shut-eye and a snippet or two more.
Then since there were chores to be done, we're doing em. Third laundry is in the machine. Didn't change the sheets over the weekend so we're doing them now. Also had to do the mattress pad because about a month ago when I also changed the sheets, one of our cats had a "thingie" on one of his ears that I thought might have been a tick or a bug bite and when I grabbed it, off it came and blood splattered all over a portion of the mattress pad. I didn't wash it then, because it was almost bed time and although I have many changes of sheets, I only have one mattress pad. So today I am about to see if all the laundry detergent additives can get it out. If not, doesn't matter. It won't show anyway.
Of course I forget to mention that one of my stomach problems is caused by a huge hiatal hernia. I've had it for many years. Taking medicine for it for many years. Only problem is that because it is so high up above the diaphragm, I get full the moment I begin to eat. You would think I'd be skinny. . . not the case. So after the doctor removed the polyp, he mentions that indeed my hernia is a bad one but that it's quite the surgery. . . so now, I don't know if it will ever be treated. wackdaddy went on LJ just last night and prompted me to do so also. . . Yea! LJ
