So, I finally called my Dr's office after being in continued pain for the last few weeks. I kept thinking I was hungry. Well, I'm not. My surgeons office thinks I may have an ulcer. I have to increase my pepcid to 4 a day, and to call him on Tuesday. I don't know what the next step will be if this is the case, but I have to say it sucks, because only about 4% of RNY patients get ulcers, and it's usually because they smoke, or don't take the daily pepcid. I always take mine and I never smoke.
Now, I really am grateful that up to this point, I have had no complications. I think I'm just a little scared of what I may have to do to fix whatever is wrong. And I am in pain. All. The. Time. and that makes me cranky.
Still getting ove a wretched cold and trying to hang onto a healthy way of eating. I must be doing something right, because I am down 133 lbs. And that was with a weigh in this evening - so I am going to check in the morning and maybe it will be even more. Losing weight always makes me feel better. *sigh*
I am feeling pretty stressed and tired but I am SO looking forward to Josh's birthday party in a few weeks. He's going to have a ball! Oh yea, my birthday is soon too, but that doesn't count. Especially since I am only going to be 29. Again.
I am waiting to hear from the boss man at UNH to see if i will be teaching intro classes next semester. If I get the class(es) then I can just keep temping over the summer. If I don't get them, I am pretty sure I am going to apply for the permanent job at Yale and cut down my student load at UNH to 8 or so. I can't keep up with the 12 hour days after the end of this semester. We will just have to wait and see.
That's the oh-so-exciting update on me. I'm tired and achy, so I'm headed to bed.
