thank you so much. I can't wait to see the gi doctor. My stomach has really been bothering me and my constipation. The otc medicines haven't been helping the indigestion or whatever it is. I have drinking ginger tea, chamomille tea, peppermint tea. just been reading that they can also be dangerous

Bobby

Call the gi doctor and see if you can get on the cancellation list.
Also see if they can get you in sooner.

Keep calling daily, that is what a lot of people do.

I am not really up to it. I am so stressed out

Sorry Bobby

Just do what you can.

Cecilia has been inviting me over usually once a week and gives me delicious salad and dessert. I play so much with her papillon Prince who is a love bunny.
Sofia is timid but I always try to give her some chicken. I am going to try to start my diet today. i am so afraid to get on the scale. i woke up depressed but then the antidepressant kicked in. Cecilia told me there should be blood with colon cancer. I am obsessed. I will ask the doctor if he can give me medication for my chronic constipation. Each morning I am afraid my laxative will stop working .My second oldest friend Kathy called and said she wanted to take me out for my birthday. She lives on the west side. She has a wonderful marriage. Her husband is Italian and plays the cello. She still gives music lessons. Her mother died of lung cancer I when Kathy was in her late teens.
My mother told me that she had lung cancer but I couldn't tell Kathy. I loved Mrs.H-it was so frustrating. I kept on dropping hints but Kathy was told she was suffering from pleurisy. They sent Kathy to a boarding school and she usually would get into a program and go to Europe for the summer. That is where she met her future husband. She has a son with two young
.children and she lost her daughter Sarah when she was about two years old to whelms tumor. The prognosis was supposed to be good. Sarah was a precocious little blondy. Such a tragedy. Sarah is still in the present for Kathy. Kathy has a lot of ailments now but that doesn't stop her at all. She still plays tennis with two aleve. She and her husband are going to Alaska and Vancouver this summer for vacation. She said she would pick me up from the colonoscopy if it was before her trip. She had dangerous skin cancer some years ago but her doctor spotted it so quickly. She could have died.
I bought another cell phone yesterday. It is much easier than my old cell phone. I didn't get the texting and sending pictures because it was 4 or 5 dollars more a month.

I'm so happy that your blood pressure has gone down since you started taking the new medication! :)

I will be glad when you get in to see the GI and get something for your stomach pain and constipation (lactulose is good for that) :hug:
It's great that you are open to having a colonoscopy done, especially since you suffer with significant constipation. Colon cancer doesn't always cause bleeding, and when there is blood in the stool, it usually is not visible.

What a sad story about your friend, but she sounds like a very strong lady! I hope that you enjoy your time out together.

I hope that you like your new cellphone! :)

Thank you for sharing bobby.
I enjoyed reading about your friends and their pets.
There is a test for helping to rule out colon cancer it used to be called hemocult. You take stool samples and mail them off to a lab. It is called something else now. Ask your doctor if you can do that test.

I have heard about it. With the laxatives I just have diarrhea

i see my heart doctor on june 26 at 10:15

something is wrong with my computer. Robert is coming over tonite to help with the new blood pressure cuff. I hope if the computer stops working again he will figure out why. The laxative didn't work so I am drinking some magnesium citrate. I had a lot of cheese yesterday and I will check to see if it constipating.
I feel so bloated
