I went to see the Urologist today. He has referred me back to the stomach Dr. I have had tummy problems since I was in high school. I have what the Dr calls a "motility disorder." In other words it takes my body forever to digest and get rid of food. Its caused problems in the past and continues to rear its ugly head even now. I take Miralax at night and Citrcel in the mornings and apparently its not helping. The pain and suffering I've had the past week is apparently due to my body not processing and getting rid of food. The Dr took x-rays today to prove it.
Usually I can tell when my tummy is screwing up and I guess I just missed it this time therefore it got out of hand. In looking back, my body was giving me signs and I just didn't pay attention.
So I called the tummy Dr this afternoon to report to him and he upped my tummy medicine and also gave me some stuff to take tonight to help clear my system and then I see him the middle of November-unless this doesn't help, but I'm sure it will.
As for the issue with my ureter...he said that it could ne that the ureter is pushed up into the bladder and it's not supposed to be. Once we get all of the tummy stuff taken care of, he wants to go in and do an outpatirnt procedure where I'm asleep and he goes in and puts a scope in my bladder and look around. He'll then put a stent in the ureter to open it up. This way the urine will be able to totally empty out of the bladder. I don't know that this is something I want him to so, so we are thinking about it and will discuss it more later on down the road.
So that's that...
I've slept on and off all afternoon and evening. Thankfully Steve and Tanner are pretty self sufficient and have taken care of themselves.
Our computer conked out on us again today. Its so frustrating. I guess I'll have to call tech support tomorrow and have them send for it again. This isn't a good time for it to go out though because we need our scanner to scan pictures that were Steve's Dads. We are supposed to scan thme for his sisters. I guess it'll just have to wait. I've been typing this post out on my Blackberry.
I think I'm going to get off of here and go to bed. I'm tired and am ready for bed.
Night.

I have been curious all week but haven't stopped to check the news. I'm glad you have some answers. I hope the medicine works. Did the stomach doc say anything about a certain type of diet you could follow to help?
