Home

 We went to my Dr appointment...no confirmed diagnosis...could be viral, could be gluten intolerance, could be a medication reaction.  Some tests are still pending.  I am to add fiber to my diet in the form of Metamucil and two days later add Activia yogurt.  The Dr says all my good gut bacteria is gone. 

I am low on Potassium...hence the fatigue...I am to eat Bananas because the Dr feels that the Potassium pills would put my stomach in a tailspin...again.

So we are at home resting.  I ordered groceries to be delivered on Wednesday.  

I have been reading a lot, but not blogs...I will be around eventually.  

Thank you all for your good thoughts and prayers.  I appreciate them.

Just like that it is September...the past 10-12 days I have been in a fog. Jen, Andy and Sadie took very good care of us!

BRAT diet

 I am real tired of Bananas, Rice, Apples and gluten free Toast.  It sucks. I am feeling better but still have pain in my stomach. Water is really boring too.

More tests were done and nothing is conclusive so far…some of the cultures take days.

My other baby brother, my sister and Jen all are Gluten intolerant…so there is that to consider too. 

I see the Dr again on Tuesday.  He “thinks” that it might be the Prilosec that the Gastroenterologist wanted me to take.  It is a strong possibility. 

I am still very tired.

 Important stuff when you are in the hospital.  Feeling mostly crummy, hope I don't have to go back.

Resting

We made the trip back home safely and I am resting and then resting some more.

Far Guy will have an exciting morning going to his Infusion and then to  pick up the grocery order.
