Oh, OUCH! I am sorry you went through all of that.... Was your ulcer caused by the bacteria or was it stress related...? Is it all healed now?....I hope. My dad had ulcers......so i suspected I had one all along...as i remember what he went through with his...and I felt the same way.......so I told my first female gastro doctor that right away and she had me do the breathing in the bag test....and then drinking some liquid and waiting 30 minutes and then beathing in another bag to test for it.....right away.....and the gastro guy the other day said that was negative for the bacteria..........so mine is due to stress probably....but then what did he take a sample of my ulcer so where is that result and anything else he took a sample of????!!!! Like I said... a merry go round with these people, so I want to go elsewhere now....and that is why I said Mount Sinai or Sloan Kettering....or something...i will have to find out about the insurance first, though. I don't know what body type I am...I don't really fit into the description 100 percent of any of them...I have small shoulders....that are not broad......my bones are not big........but I have curves no matter what my weight ever is, like an hour glass.....I am never a flat board like Audrey Hepburn was.......I have a chest.....not that i like that or ever did....but it is not huge, either.....now it is not too much over a handful...lol...being funny now.....I have strong legs.... My back has ALWAYS been VERY BONY. My measurements as of today are 33.5-26"-33" and the fattest part of my thigh is 17" I used a self timer for this photo yesterday in a bikini bathing suit, so I am sorry about the fuzzy quality. I can't do self timers very well. I will get another photo at some point that is clear....in another bathing suit or shorts and a tank top...and have Stan take it, and maybe you can tell me what body type I am. I would like to know myself.
I thought I remembered you mentioning this before but wasnt sure. Sending love and positivity to you and yours as well <3

In other news here.....I saw my new GYN doctor yesterday...and i already knew those results from my primary care doctor, as I have everything I do goto my primary care doctor, too..... My new GYN doctor is my kind of people. She is great. We talked a long time about everything going on with me, and she rolled her eyes at the digestive disease center......and said they are all just part of the same team. My GYN doctor has her own business....and I asked her what she would do if she were me....and she said Mount Sinai, Columbia and several NYC hospitals that do research.....and I knew that by myself, so to have it be confirmed was awesome.............so Columbia it is going to be.....They take our insurance.....and my dad went to Columbia....so I will spend the next month gathering everything that was done here to bring with me, so they do not repeat any same tests.........and tie up loose ends here....... and I have the best husband that is willing to drive me anywhere I need to go to get me better........and to find out what is really gong on. Marrying Stan was one of the best decisions of my life. There is nothing he would not do for me.
Memorial day party at work. same old same hotdogs, burgers, all that stuff beans .and Coors Lite fml ..
Sounds good. I am making Stan's favorite potato salad here....and i can eat potatos ok, so I will have a little....I will make hot dogs for Stan....They have to be kosher Hebrew national, though,.and I won't have any of those.....but I will try to eat a corn on the cob.....and I want to make Harvard beets....can of sliced beets with vinegar marinating over them in the fridge for a day or two. . I love beets. Someone I ran into when I jog dogs was talking to me a long time one day...when I stood outside in the rain talking to people...and told me all about the trouble she is having with gluten, and she used to be a dietician...and told me doctors won't tell you about this secret as it makes them no money.........and that gluten gives her gastroparesis....and she is the one who told me about Magnesium Citrate by Rexall and to drink a whole one...they are like little bottles of soda, salty soda....yuck....lol......and you get them in the family dollar store for a little more than a dollar a bottle...so I tried my first one last week...thought I was going to die with stomach cramps at first....and having to be in the bathroom all night....after that...i felt better than I had in a long time....so i drank another bottle last night.....and am good again today. She says she drinks those a lot...i don't want to drink them too often.......though...i don't think depending on anything that much is good for anyone...but after 8 days or longer, I feel I have no choice right now.
I didn't drink beer for a long time because I had a coors at a party in high school once and was like, "wow...beer is horrible." Took me like 20 years to discover good beer. Coors ruined my for a long time. Don't. Drink. It!
Ugh reminds me of a couple of old roommates I had, all they drank was Coors light. They would party all night every friday and saturday and leave their empty cans in the sink to take out to the recycling the next day. And it would make the kitchen smell like Coors. Ugh, so many bad Coors memories lol
