as i've mentioned in the last couple of posts i haven't been feeling all that well. what started as a simple diagnostic colonoscopy landed me in the hospital for four days. during which time all i was allowed to eat was clear liquids. that means jello, chicken broth, apple juice and unsweetened tea (which i'm pretty sure was from a powder-sacrilege i tell ya).
so they had the GI doc consult and a surgeon. the surgeon informed me he's been in this business for 33 years now. i commented "so you've finished practicing then?" he chuckled in that not so condescending way of a person who's sure their of a higher plain of intelligence than you are. he then followed with "i've never seen this happen before. i always wondered if it could happen. now i know it can." it's never reassuring to hear that from a doctor. final diagnosis: clots formed at the biopsy sites and my body treated them as infectious invaders.
so by day four (and several bags of IV antibiotics) my counts were within normal limits and my biopsies had come back clean. no idea why it happened. nothing is ever simple with me. where is dr. house when you need him???
a couple of days later while sitting on the back porch hubby looked at me and said, "next time you want to lose weight lets try something different." so after some arguing we went and bought a battery for the scale and low and behold, i had lost 10 lbs. i guess i'm just lucky like that. so after finishing up ever more antibiotics i'm back off to the land of the working. and there was much rejoicing, yay. we'll see how tomorrow goes.

At least we can call you unique. Would hate to have you a carbon copy of everyone else. THough you could pick better ways to be different.
