1 appt down 1 more to go

Dec 01, 2010

ENDO is completed.  It was a breeze.  I should not have even fretted about it.  They gave me some good stuff to nock me out.  Was such good sleep, I didnt want to wake up.  The worse part of it was the stuff I had to suck on to numb my throat.  YUCK!  Had me gagging.   I have gastritis and a hiatal herna.   The MD ordered me nexium, which my insurance i giving me a hard time filling.  Will call the urgeon tomorrow and see what I can do.  As far as the hernia, he said that it should  not affect the urgery and he will repair it at the same time if he needs to  

Will be on the phone tomorrow with my benefits officer at work, the insurance, and possibly the MD to change prescription. 

Meet with the anesthesiologist and the surgeon on the 10th.  I cannot wait.  Then I am just a few weeks away.

Just got my protein supplements in the mail today as well.  I tried the peach/mango.  Tried it in tea.  It wasnt too bad.  Next time I will try it in just water.  I also got a chocolate pudding mix and a chicken soup mixture.  I will try those tomorrow.  Each one of them has 15 grams of protein.  Maybe a little more.  It is a different way for me to get protein besides the protein shakes.  The shake mix I have has 52grams of protein per x2 scoops.  I normally mix them in 4-6 oz of skim milk.    I am hoping to be able to only eat one meal tomorrow and supplement with protein shakes and such.  We shall see.
