5-25 Update: tomorrow am going to hospital outpatient for bloodwork, another fecal test and CT scan with contrast of abdomen.....have to drink 2 bottles of that contrast 🤮

UPDATE 5-22....


I am so far negative on giardia, salmonella, e.coli 157, parasites & eggs....there are 4 tests yet to come back. My primary wanted me to go to ER as she was worried about my electrolytes.....so off we went last nite and there were peeps there waiting for 6+ hours and the room was full...no where to sit.....so we left after an hour and messaged my doc and let her know what a joke it was....I have a feeling I will soon be referred to a gastroenterologist....then we start all over again...ugh!





UPDATE: This morning Jim brought home from the docs office a whole chemistry set😩 so finally finished the 9th and last test around 3:00, so he delivered it back to them and was told it would be a couple of days...can't wait to get thru this.....




Hi guys....been mia from life since last Tuesday late afternoon.....been very sick with some kind of intestinal issue and got so bad, Jim took me for a covid test, even though I am vaxed....that came back neg. on Sunday and I just have no energy or life right now....I finally gave Jim the OK to call doc and we are waiting for that call.....just didn't want you peeps to think I disappeared.......

This is way too long for you to be sick! It sure takes a long time to get results from tests. They train doctors to think when they hear hoofbeats to think horses, not zebras. I think you have a zebra! Are they giving you anything so that you feel a little better? I'm sure Jim is worried about you, and I sure am too!

It's not bad enough that you are sick, there is no diagnosis! UGH! I'm so sorry. Continuing to pray for you sweet friend.

Hi Vikki Good news on the tests so far but what the heck is it???? I would not have stayed at the ER either. Lets hope and pray they get a handle on this for you and you can feel better. My prayers are still coming your way. I feel for you. I was like that during Chemo. Not fun... I know what you are going through. You have a lot of people praying for you. Hugs

I agree, UGH, but we continue to pray and want you to get through this and come back to us healthy and happy. So keep working your way through this. BTW, if you go by ambulance to the ER, you get seen much quicker. And in your case, I think it is a much wiser way to go than by walking in.

Continued prayers your way, Vicki! A few years ago, I started having severe stomach issues - long story short - I had developed an allergy to seafood. I grew up eating seafood, I love it and was blown away by this. But, I don't want to end up in the hospital again - so I don't eat my loved seafood anymore. My doctor told me that developing an allergy later in life (after 50) is not unusual. Perhaps it is as simple as an allergy to a type of food. Please keep us updated! Bunches of hugs, Laura

Waiting for test results can be unnerving. Praying you feel better soon.

Sorry Vicki, I've just come on and saw your post. I will definitely keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery., As everyone else has said you've certainly gone through so much this past year. There's nothing worse than feeling poorly and I'm glad you finally got to see the Doctor. Good on Jim for watching out for you through all of this. Love Chris

I have another friend going through exactly the same issues. They took a stool sample and he is awaiting the results to be sure to get the best antibiotic to take care of this business. Prayers for you to find answers and a fix as well. Hugs. Nan

I am looking forward to hearing all is well. You really had one thing after the other happening to you. I am praying that your intestinal issues are nothing serious and that you are getting well real soon. Hugs

You seem determined to stay in our prayer lists. We could pray about easier things, the settling in of the newest captured cat, the success of your business, finding joy after all the medical. Get well quickly.

Good to hear you have enough energy to post. My heart goes out to you. since you are still healing from your surgery. If you are struggling to eat, try Ensure. It helped me a lot when I was hospitalized. I hope soon to hear you are on the way to being healthy again.
