Drew, did they rule out ulcers? I ask because my 14-year-old's best buddy had the same symptoms (although not after surgery - more out of the blue) and they couldn't come up with anything until they scoped him and found the ulcer.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

An ulcer is on my list. I don't believe they've looked into it yet, initially the elevated liver enzymes is what got everyone's attention, though they still haven't found a definitive cause for that. I think the focus has been on something related to the surgery since I just had it, but I'm now planning on bringing up a course of action that looks beyond things related to the surgery.

I hope they find it quick and it's a snap to treat. 'Cause being able to eat is good!

ND, tons of health~ma. Gad this can be frustrating. Remember when I was in hospital a couple years back for lower GI blockage? This reminds me of that. "Dunno what caused it, can't see it, so we'll just stick a tube up your nose into your GI and suck everything out ." (Spoiler font for squeemish). I think I'm free this weekend. Let me know if you want a little distraction. Maybe some Xbox/Wii/PS2/board game/general chatting?

Comes to think about it, I have never seen a golf cart IRL. I think. Plenty of motorized carts for the elderly, but not one real golf cart.Remind me when you come to visit. We'll go to a golf course down the street from me.
Speaking of golf carts. I am certified to drive one now! Woot! I aced the exam, 10/10! (Dear jeebus, be afraid of anyone who didn't get 10/10, as it was open book).

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Aw, Drew, I'm sorry. That sucks. I hope they work it out quickly.

With questions like: "You see a squirrel ahead of you, do you A) speed up to try and hit it, B) slow down to give it a chance to get out the way, C) slam on the breaks and cower from the horrible beast"?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Drew, I hope they figure out your mystery disease. I've had friends with Mystery Diseases, and it's clearly a frustrating situation.

If only they were that tough. It was 10 True/False questions! And the gal infront of me got at least 1 wrong. Thankfully I'm not on the part of campus she will be driving.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Health ~ma to Drew and Connie's sister.
I just got back from having my eyes dilated at the opthamologist's office, for the first time in many years. It's really hard to see now! Driving myself home in rush hour was a treat.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Drew, that sounds awful. I hope the doctors figure it out soon!
