I've been a bit under the weather for the last 3-4 wks. I thought, rightly, that it was an bladder infection. Oh joy, but what they found out when then did blood work was, that I'm dangerously anemic. Now, I was a little glad of that because I felt so bad, I mean just useless. Freezing all they time and sleeping all the time.
So, now I'm going to have to have an Upper GI tests tomorrow, Oh joy. and in 2 wks the dreaded lower GI test. I'm bleeding from somewhere and they need to find it. I have no idea what all these tests are like or what to expect. I've heard about the colonoscopy but never the Upper Gi. I know I have to take both days off of work. Fortunately, I have a co-worker who is going to pick me up tomorrow and take me and then pick me up when I'm done and take me home. Friends are wonderful.
I'm terrified. I know theres a million things this could be but...You know, some things just keep popping in your head whether you like it or not. I can't have any solid foods after 8 nor liquids after midnight. I'll be long asleep (hopefully) by midnight.
If anyone has had the upper GI, I'd appreciate any input...or just advice. Sometimes, living alone can just suck.
I'll keep you posted
