Bottom line - I'm losing my patience and getting very tired of waiting for this bloody drama to end. It seems that Dr. Kern, Dr. Olson, & Dr. Toribara all agree that it's time for an iron infusion possibly coupled with a blood transfusion. What's the problem you say... Well it's the condition of my body & the cautious nature of Dr. Feiner. Ugh! Wow do I get sick of being considered delicate. I'm just not down with that label. I wish someone would just take the risk and move forward. My NJ docs are insistent about Dr. Feiner performing the infusions be of the high risks involved with my medical conditions. he refused to move forward until they performed a capsule endoscopy proving one more time that I don't have a source of blood loss.
Can I say I think I might die if I ever have to drink that electrolyte concoction again!?!? Oh yes!! Note the drama queen is coming out in me, but I believe it's true!!!! That stuff is like prison level punishment. I mean, I don't like many drinks anyhow, but that stuff is another level beyond disgusting. Bleh! Bleh! Bleh! There must be a better way for the good of all mankind!
After suffering through the endless liters of torture it was finally time or the test. I must say, National Jewish really is on board with some breakthrough research. I had to swallow a horse pill sized camera with a bright blue flashing light. Then they strapped a belted monitor to my waist. The camera moved through my body throughout the day taking two pictures every three seconds. The pictures were uploaded to the monitor every fifteen seconds creating eight mind-boggling hours of breathtaking footage! ;)
What a Star Trekish experience that was! Now, I just need to wait for the results.......
