Yesterday I said in my post that I was on my way to King’s in London.
The results of this appointment are;
I have to have a few tests done to see why my stomach is growing larger and why I’ve been getting more discomfort, pain and sickness.
She THINKS it may be caused by adhesions (organs starting to twist and stick together). I have been told that due to my history, I am at risk of getting adhesions.
She had a feel of my stomach and listened to what I said. She said it’s likely to be that, but she wants to do some tests to make sure and possibly rule out what else it could be. (it could also be an infection, in which case I’ll just need a dose of antibiotics – I hope this is the case!!)
If it turns out it is adhesions… Then she said I will have to have surgery. And due to the complexity of my case, it will probably be major surgery.
I am hoping it doesn’t come to that.
For now though, I am just going to stay calm (I had my little rant/outburst/worry to a few people close to me- thank you for listening and trying to keep me calm guys😂😘)
I will go for these tests like the trooper I know I am. Heck, I’ve been through much worse.
If the outcome is surgery…. Well I’ll just have to do what I always have done… Smile, tell bad jokes and carry on. And be thankful as it could be sooo much worse.
