Carole, just wondering if we coul have an uppydate on how your procedure went?

[carole]

Everything went very well, my ole bladder held up,all the results were good, no gall bladder problems or stones, in fact all my organs are doing wonderful, i even got to see my old heart pumping away, which was kinda cool, never seen that before,the scan was mainly to outrule gall bladder issues and to make sure everything else was ok, so i am a pretty healthy individual, however the down side is i am no closer to finding out what has been causing my digestive problems, which would require further tests like an endoscopy, I am not sure whether i will undertake this yet, as at the moment things are much better, but if they get worse i will be doing that and prob a colonoscopy would be next on the list eek, thank you for asking Rachael,but yes all good news so far.

Oh, Sis! I'm very happy to hear that your tests wery well. I'm a little disappointed about the doctors not pinpointing the cause of your digestive problem though. If a
colonoscopy is in order, I can help you through that. Meanwhile Sis {{{{ HUGS}}}} to you to being pretty healthy!

Thank you both, David i am hoping not to have to go down that same road as you, just been thinking that is probably what they might suggest, but only if the endoscope showed nothing, unfortunately ultrasounds only show up so much, and they cannot look into the stomach,but hey at least i had some things out-ruled and my organs are in tip top shape,now that is reassuring ,along with my excellent cholestrol reading, and apart from these problems and some high blood pressure i am not in too bad shape for my age i suppose, loose a few more pounds and get this sorted and i will be much better.

How long to go for your appointment David, refresh my tired old memory please lol.

Carole, I'M the one with the old memory! Carole, mine was done this afternoon. Everything was okay except he removed two polyps. I was glad to hear "everything turned out good"! I was SO hungry that when we left the hospital my brother treated me to a meal at Wendy's. I'glad we're both in good shape. {{{{HUGS}}}} to you, Sis!

[carole]

That is fantastic news David, i know how worried you were, those polyps were probably what was causing all your trouble, so how was it, the procedure i mean, everyone say's it isn't that bad , the prep is worse, i am really happy for you mate, did ya feel all those pters holding and squishing your hand tightly.

Carole, the prep was tough to get through, but it was worth going through that to get great results!! I can't tell you much about the procedure because because I was out like a light through most of it. However I felt many PTer hands around me (including yours) and a few sets of paws crossed for me. I'm happy that we're both pretty healthy!

[carole]

Right well i am glad you were heavily sedated, i imagine it would be necessary all right for that kind of procedure,yep mate we are both in pretty good shape it seems, always nice to know, you have a good day now you hear.
