I got a good night’s sleep. I insured I did by taking a sleeping pill. Even so, I had, what I think, three of the longest farts of my life as I was reading before bedtime. I’m talking about 6-8 seconds each. That doesn’t seem like a long time until you count it off. It seems I let out all the air they pumped into my colon. It was a relief!
I also got the test results back from the biopsies. He apparently went a little deeper on the endoscopy than I realized because the first pathology report to appear was on the duodenum. It read “No pathologic diagnosis. No evidence of malabsorption.”
For the stomach, it read “No pathologic diagnosis, Negative for H. pylori bacteria.” Hurray! No ulcers!
For the colon, it read “No pathologic diagnosis. No evidence of colitis.”
That’s great news but it still leaves me with the question of why I had three severe bouts of diarrhea in one month’s time. He might make me swallow the horse pill with the camera.
I’ll be honest. I was very worried about the potential results. My mind went all the way to colon cancer and everything else in between, so these results are a little freeing.
I actually feel pretty good today to the point Chris, Tucker and I will be doing movie night tonight. I also feel good enough to make a pot roast for dinner. It’s been a very long time since I’ve wanted to cook anything (other than sweets) and definitely a long time to cook that much meat. I suspect the left over aroma will drive Tucker wild tonight.
I might even get in the mood to start planning another trip. Stay tuned!
