Curiously enough I got a call this week from Dr. Duckett and Oweis's office. They still wanted to schedule the EGD and unfill. I called Dr. Curry's office and asked if he'd want me to go through with the test here at home or with him (since he's a 3+ hour drive from my home). He advised having it done with him, something about seeing it first hand.

So, I'm scheduled for the EGD to look down my esophagus, stomach and duodenum to see what the heck has been causing all the burning. I still have a little bit of sore throat. It seems to be worst in the evening. I do wake with it but it gets better after a little while. To be honest, I'm getting really tired of sleeping so propped up. It's amazing how sore you're butt can get sleeping in the same position all night long. :cool: Those are the 2 most aggrevating things about my current situation.

I've learned that if I make a very conscious effort to eat very small portions, to essentially stop before I'm full or satisfied, that I feel better. The problem with that is I want to kind of graze because I'm not satisfied. I haven't weighed myself because I just don't want to know. My clothes feel the same, so that makes me feel better. But right now I don't want to see those numbers on the scale. Ice cream has been my friend; it feels good on my sore throat. :nervous

So, until Monday.........we'll see what the EGD shows then.

Good Look with your appt and I'm sure that friendly ice cream is low fat.....right.
