Hello :)
Long time no blog! I have Gastritis, which is inflammation of the stomach lining...hmmm sounds all too familiar. It has knocked the stuffing out of me! I am not happy. I went to the doctors last Thursday and he gave me a diagnosis and medication. I've been on Ranitidine for four days and the vomiting has stopped for the last two days but I am still in constant pain and really suffering. I cant help but feel alarmed by this sudden illness, I am naturally worried about the health of my stomach after the years of abuse from the concoction of drugs it has had to digest. I've never had gas problems or gastritis before so this is new too me and I don't like it. I feel anxious that all of a sudden I will deteriorate and need to go to hospital, which I know is silly but when you battle chronic illness this feeling can rear its ugly head when your ill. I have had a strong talk with myself to GET A GRIP!
This is not good timing either because I have my Pre-Op Assessment on Wednesday,just three days away. I doubt they will be happy for me to have anaesthetic with my current Epi-Gastric problems. What will be, will be...
