tiny bad bad bad “Everytime you leave you take a piece of me with you” I hate doctors. (Excepting, of course our Doper docs. MAINLY because they can’t get near me with a scalpel) ---

The only way surgery can be truly “minor” or “elective” is if it’s done to somebody else. ---

Beck, are they planning to remove another bit of you? What now? Heart? Liver? Hangnail? ---

Looks like the thing-a-ma-jig that keeps food in my stomach has a loose valve. I’ve been having pukey problems for a little while. It’s just intensified. It’s not good for a scrawny diabetic to loose their food too often. So we saw a stomach guy and he said he wants to fix it. Yeah, well. Ok? What’re you gonna do? Not as bad as brain surgery, little more than a hangnail. I feel kinda ok-ish about it. Luckily, tacos stay down.☺ ---

“I can’t fight this feelin’ anymore…” Yeah. It’s a Tums commercial. Wish I had one or a dozen about right now. 😢 ---

Geez girl, you can’t catch a break. Yeah, I’d want that valve fixed too because the second time, the food doesn’t taste quite a good. Keep us posted. ---

My doc discussed that with me a few years ago, but went with boring lifestyle changes instead. Mostly worked, but I’m on a first name basis with the local endoscopy folk. Wishing you the best… ---
