March came in like a....

*267*

 This is a Leap year so on February 29th (March 1st the rest of the time) we had a yucky snow storm blow through. It was icy as hell out this way. The next day was fine but still yucky and gloomy. Just as March is supposed to be. My friend lives in Branson, MO and she had a twister! An overnight one. She, her family, and her belongings are fine. She is just a bit shaken up and worried about the areas economy on the short term. Gran, I will send you something if you need it!
It is the unofficial kick off of Spring for all of us gardeners.  I do not have the gear to wear for wet and gloomy. So I will stay inside and do laundry today. Yee Haa!

So I got Fred on the fiber train. I figured we can both suffer. He has NO bloating. I have excessive bloating. I cannot really answer you if I feel any change because I do not. My symptoms would wax and wane sometimes. So just cause I have no nausea and pain today, does not mean the fiber is working. Let us give it a good week and then I can answer better.  I am not hungry. That is for damn sure. This stuff plugs you up really good. If you eat any food on top of the fiber, you feel really tight in the gut. LOL
I have to shit more so I guess that is what it means by being regular. Isnt going once a day good enough?? I thought so?
Now it is multiple times. Goody. Something to look forward to.
I am being sarcastic cause I am still mad. I am mad at the metamucil, the bills, and the stupid Dr.  If he suggests another test, I will have to decline. I am sorry. I have enough to pay off now, I cannot afford another $300 co-pay.
I will eventually stop being bitter about the money. It is not all the Dr fault. It is the hospital too. But I will not get into that. LOL
Today is laundry day like I said. And I want Natalie to super duper clean her room. It is a viper pit! She has clothes every fucking where. I want her to bag up what she does not want, Those clothes will go in a donation bin. The stuff she wants will be washed and not balled up on the floor. LOL
We have all weekend. LOL

Wow, that was quick!

I guess this is all I need.

 I will try really hard not to swear so that everybody that I love can read it.
 
According to the stomach emptying study and my Gastro`s opinion, I DO NOT have Gastroparesis.

Yay! Hip! Hip! Hooray! Woot! Yes! Yes! WTG!

Fred and I said the same thing..Then why is she sick and in pain??

The Gastro has no idea. He wants me to drink Metamucil every day for three months. He thinks that will do the trick.
Really?
You had me go through all of these super expensive tests that I have co-pays racking up back to back to pay and all I really need is some Fiber????? Why wasn't that the first course of action?
 There are going to be some GP people out there that will gleefully say I told you so. I wont type it but imagine my middle finger saluting you happily. Not all my GP friends are like that, just some and they are not my friends.
So what do I have?
 I have to take a Vicodin at least two times a week from the stabbing pain on my right side. I am nauseated. Stomach pain, bloating, food backing up, I cant eat certain foods cause they just sit there in my gut. I am taking something for the scary acid reflux (and it is working, thank god), but sometimes it breaks through on certain nights. I am not constipated at all. In fact sometimes the opposite could be true. But I am fine. YAY!!!!!! All I need is some Fiber!

* I bought a big ass can of that crap for $16 and I will drink it every single day. Because what if he is right? I would rather drink that then have a devastating disorder. So I will behave.*

Oh, and since the dog ate my retainer, my teeth are killing me! I can feel them shifting. But i do not have any money for that either.

Cause I have all those co-pays to pay!
