8 hours

until I go in for an upper G.I. scope. Last week I had another horrible stomach attack, episode, whatever you want to call it. It hurts so bad, I almost wonder if I can bear it any longer while it is happening. This was the 3rd time it has happened since having my gall bladder out in October. I am tired of it. I drove myself back down to the ER. Something has to be wrong! They did another ultrasound and took some blood, all of which came back "normal". Irritating. My regular doctor doesn't think that what is happening has anything to do with the gall bladder situation, but is something different altogether. He wonders if it is an ulcer. So tomorrow I will hopefully find something out. Things have been taken to a new level since Wednesday's attack. After I eat, I have pain, if I go too long without eating, I have pain. Frequent, mild nausea, pressure in the chest, heartburn, bloating...the list goes on. I know, poor me, right? Please let there be an answer tomorrow.
