Bet my week was more FUN than yours!

So my week was very awesome last week! Last Tuesday was my birthday, I turned 240 years old! DAMN! I look good! Lol ~ It was the Marine Corps birthday. Yep, the girl who’s afraid of spiders, bugs, black birds, dirt and a whole slew of other things once a Marine once upon a time ago! Wednesday was Veterans Day so another day of celebrating. How was I celebrating?!?!?

By cleaning out my whole digestive system. I gotta 2for deal! Cha-Ching! Not only was I so lucky to get an upper endoscopy procedure, but I was also gifted with a colonoscopy. Oh, lucky me! I’ll spare you the deets of how I really spent my Tuesday and Wednesday gearing up for Thursday! I get all my care at the VA hospital (thanks to the military, it’s not the best, but at least it's something) and If you have never been to one then you really never want to have to go there! It’s a cross of a men’s nursing home/ shelter & the saddest place ever!!! I’m always the token gal in there….. (It breaks my heart how these older veterans are treated!)

Finally Thursday comes and of course I had an afternoon appointment so by the time I arrived and checked in I basically turned into a pathetic being. When it came time to insert the iv I was so dehydrated the nurse poked my one hand couldn’t get the vein so on to the next she went she got it in just barely tho! (For days I had huge purple bruises on each hand!) I couldn’t wait to get that damn nap that they had promised me when I signed on for this! We finally get back to the procedure room and I thought here comes the nap…… NOPE the damn computer froze and couldn’t get started! Only me does this stuff happen to! I was demanding by this point that I wasn’t going to go through the prep to get these tests done again so they better figure something out!!! 20 minutes later and a new computer I finally got that fuckin nap! LOL  

I've always heard that the prep for the procedure was the worstist then the procedure itself and I'm here to say yeppers they were righto on that!

The testing was prompted because for years I’ve had digestive issues.  I have celiac disease and am also have a sever sensitivities to dairy, wheat, corn, soy and whey.  Bet you’re wondering what the hell I eat! A whole lota sushi, nuts, fruits and veggies…. It’s been a struggle! And yep, I’m hungry! But now my body is not digesting the nutrients nor the RA meds. I did end up walking out of the hospital with a dx of diverticulitis, gastritis and GERD.   

GRRRRRR…………….  Still am waiting on the results of the biopsy’s to get a more definite answer as to what’s going on.

And so the struggle continues ~ damn you RA

Still finding my om with RA…………..

Peace, Love and Light to all!

HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE!
