Hi @BlueBay
Of course you are scared about the results of all these tests - everyone would be - I would be -
But it's also important to remember that these tests find out what the trouble IS NOT - so as well as finding out WHAT IS - the doctors know the best way to treat all of this
And as hard as it might be - will be - for you - all you might need to do it change your diet - I did read that and I would not like to be told that - but it is as easy way to cure something
It sounds as if you are having good care where you are - and no one is at their best in hospital - why would we be? Why could we be? I had a few cries in hospital last month - pain wears us down - so does not knowing - and the tests -
But you are having a break - it might not be the one you felt like - but you are being cared for - and that can't be all bad

Hi Bluebay
I'm so glad the nurses are treating you good, and you are on pain meds and being cared for.
Wishin' and a'hoping, hoping and a'praying the medical team sort it out.
It happened to me, a medical miracle, 10 years of living with extreme hypertension, dr's tried different
meds which gave me aweful side effects, so of course I ditched them, then finally I spent 4 days in the cardiac ward and they threw every thing they could at me meds wise, and had a deeep look into all my organs and blood, changed my life. and it's been nearly 8 years with decent blood pressure.
I was later diagnosed with Bipolar Affective Disorder at the age of 59. The anti psychotics did a number on me and now I have severe osteo arthritis that would have happened in about 15 more years anyways. I got on NDIS and have a team of helpers, cos i was totally overwhelmed for a few years. Too much pain and sorrow, and the loneliness and negative self talk.
I have a pain management plan now thanks to my psychologist who was a bush nurse for many years and knows a thing or 2.
My point is miracles happened. It didn't 'fix' me tho, I still swing between depressive in the winter and maniac in the summer. My family like the depressive, not so much the maniac. I am endevouring the befriend the maniac. With mixed results. My kids are still talking to me tho and I to them, so that's a plus.
Just wanted you to know Bluebay, someone else is thinking of you and wishing for a good outcome.
All the bestest.
