Today's Dr. visit

Well, my DH and DSiL gave me a blessing last night. It was beautiful and so full of promise. I was really comforted. This morning was calm as can be. The Dr wants to avoid more surgery. He ordered blood work and said that if my protein stores are low, then he wants me to get a feeding tube inserted through my side. He also ordered another scope and dilation. He said that the scar tissue that is forming the stricture is still at peak. I think I know what means. Anyway, as time goes on it will quit forming as much. Hopefully. Time seems to be getting longer in-between strictures. So we will see. He described how they will insert the tube and that does not sound like fun. Oh well, I will just have faith that things will continue to improve. I do believe they will. I actually ate some salmon today. I baked it in some butter and lime with salt and dill. It was sooooo moist and that must have helped. It has taken all evening to get it down and am still working on it but it is staying. I take a tiny bite every 5-10 minutes or so. I will take all the blessings I can get. Thanks for all your support! Grins, Kaye

Hi Kaye That is wonderful news!! I'm glad you aren't looking at more surgery and that the food is staying down better. I am going to try your Salmon recipe..sounds delicious. I have never been much of a fish eater and I'm trying to get better. I do love catfish..country girl that I am..haha Do you use real butter??? We are going to a family reunion in Ohio this weekend and I'm a bit nervous about the food choices. I know that I'll do ok though. So glad to hear that things are looking up for you Kaye Have a wonderful day. Alfie

Hello, Alfie! Thanks for your support! Yes, I do use real butter. I also usually use lemon juice instead of lime but was out. I loved the lime, though! Where is your family reunion? My Dad's family is from there. We went to a reunion there in July. I love it. Grins, Kaye

Kaye, prayers are answered. You were included in my personal prayers last night to give you comfort and peace and to be able to accept whatever comes your way. It sounds like that's exactly what happened. Keep giving us updates on how you are doing. Melody

Thanks, Melody! I do appreciate it. I figured I could count on you! I will update. Grins, Kaye
