I am now entertaining myself greatly by imagining askye & Will's marriage being solemnized in a bout of the saltiest language and much joie de vivre.

[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.
I survived the procedure that killed Joan Rivers and the drug that killed Michael Jackson! I need to sell my story to the tabloids.
I have an ulcer.
They neglected to mention how much my throat would hurt afterwards. I'm taking a pain pill and seeing if I can resume my interrupted sleep.
Ginger, sorry about the ulcer. What can they do for it?
Well an ulcer does indeed explain stuff. I hope they are able to treat it well and quickly.

The universe likes you more than them.
You know, I realize that my pain levels aren't that bad since I got my Tramadol supply cut off - usually running about 5 on the 1-10 scale - but it sure is a hassle. Cut my effectiveness noticeably. (The pharmacy won't give me more until I've seen a doctor who will prescribe more ... and the first appointment I could get was October 31. Trick? for a treat?) It's my back ... last week I had to ask someone (young and strong) to pick up a box with two reams of paper from the floor because I tried and sort of ... stuck.
On occasions when I've worn hose, I usually wear nude hose. I wore white hose once and one of my friends remarked halfway through the day that my legs are so pale she'd only just realized I had on hose.

Change "I" to "Badass woman" and you've got the headline.
Today has started off fubared and looks to stay that way.
What can they do for it?
Most ulcers are caused by H. pylori bacteria and are treated with a combination of acid blockers like Prilosec and antibiotics. They're having me take a lot of Prilosec and testing to be sure it is H. pylori.
I guess the next question is whether they think the ulcer is related to the oral chemo I was taking. They had me stop taking that last week when the ulcer symptoms started. I hope I can go back to it, because it seemed to be effective and not too dreadful on the side effects scale. I see my oncologist Wednesday.
Chemo is such an endless balancing act.
Glad that you have Dx, Ginger, and that it's treatable. And you are such a hero in my book.
