One week from today, I go in for a dual endoscopy – colonoscopy so the doctors can try one more time to see what has gone wrong within my body to cause me so much pain. I still do not know the timing of this procedure, but I know the date. I also know that I will need a ride there, because I will not be able to drive myself home. The whole thing is supposed to last 3 hours, but the anesthesia will impair me all day.
I hope to receive an explanation for my abdominal distress. But nothing they’re actually expecting – nothing they have told me about, at any rate – explains my overall decline. My pain, exhaustion, and brain fog are thoroughly impairing. I’m hoping the doctors find the clues they need to discover why.
