Bump in the Road

Hi everyone!
Just got home from a three day stay in Mercy. I told you I began to have symptoms; well an xray was done which showed "something suspicious" like an obstruction in the early stages. I was admitted from the doctor's office on Wednesday afternoon and began testing to find out what was going on. Of course I couldn't eat or drink anything which added to the discomfort.
Thursday afternoon I had a "gastrograph" done (an xray of the intestines using radio opaque dye) That was not fun!!! It took about an hour and a half and by the time I was done I was exhausted. The procedure can be both diagnostic and therapeutic, and it was both.
The results were that whatever was there was cleared by the procedure, and who knows if it will ever happen again?
I dodged the bullet of another surgery this time, thank God!
I am home eating lightly, relaxing and building my strength again.
Chemo will probably resume in 3 weeks, after follow-up with Dr. Sardi.
Till next time :-) Bets

Betsy, so pleased to hear you are doing so much better. As always you are in Ed and my prayers daily. It is great to know the support you from Tom and the boys during this difficult period.
