I've also had a CT scan to make sure I didn't have something else going on. Luckily I have no cancer or obstructed bowels. But, I do have an ulcer needing to be checked. A doctor's appointment has been set up to see what can be done. I'll be having a scope run down my throat into my stomach after my throat is numbed, of course. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
In the mean time I'll continue my exercising & healthful eating. I've already lost 5 lbs. I've also lost some inches around my problem areas. Once I get myself to feeling healthy & strong I'll try to get back to my regular blogging. I miss everyone and hope you're doing well.

:) san.
At least you found out about the problem before it became too serious. Good luck with your recovery.
Hopefully the iron will do the trick and and you will be feeling better.
Of course we noticed. Glad you are getting it all taken care of.
sorry to hear it, I hope you'll get well very soon
carver thanks Carver. it'll be interesting to see how the additional tests will turn out. i'm hoping i won't have to do much to fix the ulcer but, i suspect i'll have to take a pill for it too.
bluepapercranes i've missed you too. i'll do my very best to get well soon so i can get back to the fun stuff like stopping by everyone's blog again. i'll take all the joy/ warmth you'll send me, :) thanks~
al yes, that's the positive note i like to focus on that we found the problems before they couldn't be fixed. thanks so much.
kateri i'm hoping the iron will do the trick too. if i'd been older the doctor said he would have had me go through a transfusion. luckily we can use that as a last resort.
sandy and, hopefully i'll get it all taken care of quickly so i can stop by soon, :)
lissa thanks so much. i'm trying very hard to get well. i miss making my rounds- seeing what everyone is up to.
i want to say thanks everyone for your kind words & support during my time of healing. it means a great deal to me.
Thanks for updating us. Just be sure to take care of yourself. Hope you are better soon.
I'm sorry to hear that! You take care of yourself.
Wish you speedy recovery!
bone good morning~ thanks for your get well wishes. i'm working very hard on getting better.
kirigalpoththa hello~ hope this day finds you well. i'm doing all i can to recover quickly, thanks.
have a great day...
So glad the diagnosis is treatable. Sending you good thoughts for the rest of the procedures. Rest, and take care of yourself. All this "discovery" is stressful.
You are much in my thoughts, Naquillity. I hope you get on OK with the iron pills - I've only ever had them as a short term measure, post-operatively to get the haemoglobin levels back up.
That raccoon photo is FAB!
Deb hello. thanks for all your good thoughts & well wishes. and yes, all this 'discovery' has been stressful but i'm hopeful of a quick recovery.
caroline hello. thanks for keeping me in your thoughts. i'm hoping the iron pills will do the trick as well. i went today for more blood work to see if the iron pills are working. i should know something tomorrow. i thought that baby raccoon was adorable too. there's a story behind that and another photo i have of all the baby raccoons. i'll share it when i can.
hope all is well your way ladies. have a great day...
praying for the best possible outcome for you.... it is good to see you blogging... it's funny cause i was wondering how you were doing noticing you hadn't been around... look forward to chatting w/u again...
ms pie (little wing) i'm starting to feel more like myself everyday so it won't be long before i'm making my blogging rounds again, :) i can't wait either because i've missed everyone. thanks for your well wishes. i'll chat with you soon.
have a great day.
