I am trying to think positive but with everything I have going on I have awful feeling something isn't right.
I was sent a letter a few years ago about hereditary heart disease, my father who I haven't spoke to in over 20 years has been diagnosed so they have to check the family to see if we have it. I didn't attend back then as was going through tests for Fibromylagia and anaemia, I thought I will leave it until I'm hourly feeling stronger, I think that was wishful thinking.
I decided in 2021 to start the process but with just going through the Pandemic and lockdowns Doctors weren't to sure about having face to face appointments plus I had started the menopause and wanted to go on HRT but couldn't until I got a clear heart disease test. I recieved a date to have a phone appointment to talk about the test and hopefully get referred again. Once this started I had to have some blood tests done, they wanted a full test. Once the results arrived there eyes quite a few abnormal results that resulted in more blood tests to find I was anaemic again plus low on Folic Acid, the Doctor was curious why this keeps happening so asked me to do a stool test, this came back with blood in my stools. I was told I would need an urgent colonoscopy but would have to talk to the specialist. They sent me a date for a phone call from the surgeon who obviously still doesn't accept face to face. After a chat about how I'm feeling he has decided to be very thorough, I now have to have a CT scan, MRI, Colonoscopy and a tube going down my throat into my stomach, I'm dreading that one, Hubby had the tube down his throat, he said it was horrible, I'm not looking forward to that st all, feeling sick just thinking of it.
I am going to have to phone my Doctor as they now have me down for 2 MRI's which is a waste of money when they could get both results from one go. I'll see what the Doctor says.
I have been watching this video on YouTube too try and lessen my worries about the camera going down my throat.
I am dreading this, I am hoping thret offer me the sedation or knock me out totally. I was told this would be within 2 weeks, hubby is going to have to take time off work to take me and keep me company.
I am back home after spending a few days at my oldest daughters helping look after my granddaughter. Its been hard as they are trying to get baby Evie into a routine of sleeping at night instead of all day, she is cluster feeding abs watering Jess out. They have bought a couple of breast pumps to help with feeding, her partner will be able to feed giving Jess the break she needs. I need to be home for a week whilst I get over not sleeping. My body needs a rest.
Thank you for visiting. 💟💟
