So last week was a week from who knows where. Last Friday night, I came home to Brad on the couch with severe stomach pains and vomiting. Knowing me, I immediately thought it was the flu but as time passed his pain got increasingly worse. Needless to say, we ended up the the ER until 1AM. That night morphine had become his best friend.
Saturday and Sunday he stayed pretty commatosed with Vicatin and muscle relaxers. AMEN for MEDS!!!!
Monday we had an outpatient Hida Scan done which tested the function of his gallbladder. Wednesday was a trip to the General Surgeons office. Hida Scan and ultrasound came back normal. WOW!! Now what!!
Friday on to a EGD (tube down the throat). Results.......6 ulcers (1 big one), a hyedel hernia, and Gastroesophal Disease. All caused by acid reflux. YEAH, what a day!!
So what does that mean for Brad......quit chewing, watch calcium intake, reduce alcohol and caffeine consumption. After being told all of this, he asked the doctor only one question....."Can I at lease eat my greasy foods"????????!!!
GO FIGURE TYPICAL MAN!!
