An Appointment With Some Radiologists At The Hospital.

Went to the hospital for having an X-ray this early morning.  My mother drove me there.  It's nearby in my hometown.  5 minutes to get there.  I had on time.  I waited in the lobby of lab/radiology department until a radiologist called my name.  First, a radiologist wanted to ask me personally like my last name and birth date then she put me up on the table for taking a picture of my chest and bowel.  Afterwards, another radiologist/student, a male who looks like a Spanish, wanted me to drink the first of 2 special liquids right away.  But it tastes yucky!  I drank slowly, sip by sip.  It took me to drink for almost an hour cuz I drank too slow and felt my tongue uncomfortable.  Then the 2nd one repeatly.  Ugh!  At about almost done, I went back to do more picture of my chest bowel so the male radiologist/student wanted to make sure an X-ray picture looks good.  As I was figured out what the radiologist is doing, he noticed my intestines are not full completely yet but I think it looks about halfway.  I saw an X-ray picture of my chest and bowel on the computer.  And the mental screws inside both of my hip bones that I had a surgery when I was kid, too.  It's a long story.  Whoa, I could see white spots included my stomach inside my belly clearly.  I noticed the white liquid flowing downward from my stomach as it travels to my bowel.  Then the other female radiologist wanted me to drink the 3rd one.  I thought I finished drinking the last 2nd one.  I felt I am tired of drinking a weird liquid and I nearly vomited but it was just small.  Then she went to talk with my gas doctor on the phone.  Finally, that female radiologist wanted me to go to another X-ray room.  I stopped drinking halfway.  Thank God.  I hate it!  In another X-ray room, it looks different.  I saw a video of my chest and bowel in the computer.  It was an amazing by what I saw.  I could see my bowel is moving inside.  Wow!  But it looks weird.  I have never seen like that before.  The female radiologist put a thing on my belly and was looking at where the small bowel is located on the video.  She made a black circle on that spot where I have a problem with.  Also, I could see a mental nail inside my right hip bone.  At last, I am done with X-ray pictures.  Whew!  I went home afterwards.  I had to eat late breakfast right away.  I was relieved as I was eating 2 croissants and drinking my favorite coffee.  I am still drinking water to get rid of white liquid.

Special Drink: Pom Juice. Update On My Stomach.

Last week or so, I was given trying to drink a special juice by my mother.  She bought it at Wal-Mart.  My mother suggested I should drink it.  It would prevent me from having so much pains in my belly.  It works!  The name of special juice is Pomwonderful Pomgranate Juice.  The nickname I am still saying is Pom juice.  It's an easy for me to say that.  Last Wednesday, Mother recommands me to try another juice, a gel, that is coming from health food store.  The name of gel is Aloe Vera.  Aloe Vera comforts inside stomach gently after I drank it.  It works.  I felt it smoothy.  But I had a suggestion to Mom that Aloe Vera can be mixing in with Pom juice cuz I just found out Aloe Vera is a tasteless.  It was my idea.  Mom tried it out as test.  Both Pom juice and Aloe Vera mixing altogether at the same time tastes good.  I guess it makes u feeling hungry after u drink it.  Without the gel of Aloe Vera, Pom juice hurts my diaphragm but in few seconds, the pain is gone.  Don't worry about it but it tastes so good without the gel.  Go see a link of Pom juice in my home page.  That website have alot of information about the history of this delicious fruit juice.

Update On My Stomach
My stomach is okay.  I am trying to get better.  Sometimes I feel uncomfortable.  I am avoiding dairy products for awhile.  My mother knows I love cheese so much.  LOL!  Otherwise, I went back to the same hospital in my hometown last Wednesday afternoon to get a blood test.  I did it.  So, I am waiting to hear from my gas doctor in Deland about results.

Updates On My Belly

About my stomach, it's improving slowly. Still no pains. I am getting my appetite and energy back. I am glad that. I almost ate all of food. Thanks to pills from health food store. I am still taking them everyday. I figured it took me in a month to get better. Hopefully, I will go to the beach tomorrow when the temperature hits 87 degrees and swimming in May or June. But first I have to buy a new bathing suit at the mall cuz I ended up sizing 4-6 quickly, not almost size 12 anymore. I might go to the mall next month before anyone can grab a perfect bathing suit. Not at Wal-Mart cuz I had a difficult time to find the right bathing suit there. JCPenney is better. Or Sears. Or Beall's in Ormond Beach. Wish me luck.

Updates On My Stomach

Pains in my belly are gone no more since yesterday. That's good news but not yet, pills I am still taking are too slow to heal me. I am waiting for going back to a normal again but I also don't want to feel trapping here at my apt too long, u know. I really want to go out for fun. I am trying to eat a huge food but the thing prevents me from it. I am concerning about my weight. I want a hurry up to get better. I've decided to stop doing exercises for awhile until I get back to normal again. Wish me well.

Have a good weekend!

Pains In My Belly. Trip to Wal-Mart. Patrick Swayze.

Hello, Bloggers!
I am back. I hope pains in my belly will be gone anymore this afternoon. It could be a gas but I already figured it out. It drove me crazy. I fear I would be losing weight again if I don't eat plenty of food much. I push the food away from me again when I am feeling in pains in the evening. I also hope my vitamins (pills) from heath food store are still working but I really need a medication immediately. Yesterday, I had a disagreement with my mother who don't like very strong medications and don't believe in doctors cuz they can't find anything inside the body in the fax message. I told her I want to see a doctor and need a medication right away. Mom experienced she had a colonoscopy 4 times but a doctor can't find anything. I didn't know that she has until I found out last Fall before I had a surgery. Anyways, when I found out I am asked to be invited to a Silent Signing Dinner from one of my deaf club friends in an e-mail last Monday, I am not sure I can go there cuz I am concerning my belly but I must needing to get a medication first. Silent Signing Dinner will take a place next Friday March 14th. I need to get out of my apt cuz it's too boring to me.
Last Tuesday morning, I went to Wal-Mart. I was feeling great as if I am kept moving around as I am busy that morning. I went straight to McDonald's for ordering my breakfast. My breakfast is good. During breakfast, I noticed an old man looking at Wal-Mart employees who were eating breakfast as if he's checking his watch that tells him when they will be finished eating it. I suspected something but I don't know what it is. After breakfast, I continued doing a food shopping and carried a cup of my coffee. I bought 2 things but I can't tell u what they are. I went home when I finished shopping.
That Tuesday afternoon, I felt downward again when a pain in my belly came back. Ugh. I felt tired and wanted to take a nap. I did napping that afternoon.


Heard about Patrick Swayze's disease on news. I hope his cancer will be gone no more quickly. Wish Swayze a good luck. I saw some of Swayze's movies years ago, in the 1990s. Yeah, just like Michael Landon, a TV actor, who had a pancreatic cancer many years ago. That's why Michael drank too much alcohol.
