Doctor Appointment....

I have decided that this will be a fabulous way to update people on my medical status, since I'm sure everyone is dying to know! Okay, so that may not be the case but I will try to at least keep this updated since when I'm not feeling well I'm not the greatest about returning calls and texts and that way rumors don't have to fly.... :) Oh, and if this info is too personal for you, feel free to not read it!

So, I went back to the doctor today. Nothing really too surprising at the appointment since the doctor had talked to my mom after the surgery. But for those who want the details, here they are....
As most of you probably know, I have been in quite a bit of pain for a while. The doctor was very confident before the surgery that the surgery would find what she thought was causing the pain and she could fix it then. Unfortunately, that was not found and therefore nothing was fixed. So on I trudge. We decided to keep my meds the same even though there was a chance there was a problem with what I am on, but she thinks a previous problem I had about a month ago was a fluke and not necessarily caused by the medication. I ended up in the ER on Sunday with an infection and am now on antiobiotics. I am just praying and hoping that round 1 works since last time I needed antiobiotics I needed 3 rounds and then had some pretty bad side effects from them. Unfortunately my body has decided to become resistant to any pain killer they could prescribe leaving me pretty much stuck to suck it up and deal with it because the Vicodin and Darvecet (or however you spell it) don't have any effect on me. I am going to a GI doctor on the 17th and they will determine what scopes/surgeries need to be done to check for any GI problems that could be causing the pain.

Had a melt down today leaving the doctor's office. I'm just very frustrated with the severity of the pain and lack of answers. Please pray for healing and peace for me during this time! I know that God has not left me, and I'm just trying to trust Him and cling to hope....

Thank you for the prayers and encouragement! They have meant a lot to me and definitely help keep me going!
