And so it continues

Hi Thanks for stopping by and reading, I hope you enjoy.

And the story continues:


 I am now 25 years of age and by now I am smoking a lot of pot and I mean a lot. The pain has decided to surface around my appendix but it is becoming more constant and that means I am off to the doctors again, this time I am really questioning what it could be. Thankfully at this time I have really started to reduce my fast food diet yes I said diet because it was a diet. My doctor Dr G. is trying everything that she knows find what is causing the pain but nothing firm turns up which I found out it pretty common and then the pain disappeared as fast as it came again for about 2 months.

So lets progress to about age 26-27,  by this time I am starting to realize that there is something wrong with me but I was stoned 80% of the time so I really couldn't piece it together and those little bumps on my stomach were becoming a real good cop out of the pain.  On a side note I talked to a friend not that long ago and it he said I was always having issues with my stomach.
So I am now 27, isn't that the great things about blogs you can just jump ahead in time.  I am now starting to take it a bit easier on the weed mostly because I can't afford it.  And boom the pain hits like a vicious storm,  I was starting to go to my doctors, , hospitals and clinics just to get an answer about once a week if not more .  So I am now basically off junk food except when I was out with some friends and maybe once every couple weeks or so. By reducing the diet I came the conclusion that it is not the food. The other issue is I am now smoking almost a pack a day... anybody seeing the correlation here? Less pot, more tobacco = pain.  The shame is that I still didn't see it back then.  So back to what I was saying.  I was at the doctors and were both now thinking oh shit what the fuck is going on, we do another ultrasound. With this ultrasound I am thinking one more isn't going to hurt it found nothing last time. I finished off the ultrasound and probed the guy to see if they had found something but he wouldn't say anything.  About 3 days later I get a call from Dr.G and was asked to come in. I walked into her office stared to read a magazine wondering why I was there, when she walked in I was told to sit down and was told: Shane this time we found something and we think that it might be Cancer, my heart sunk and as I was writing this I got the exact same feeling as I did when I was told that... so needless to say my smoking went up.  My doctor said that it was nothing to worry about right now and that it is time to get a specialist involved. At that time my doctor referred me to a G.I. it is a 3 month waiting list to see this guy but I got in quicker my Dr G. pulled some strings.

   The day of my appointment with my GI, I was very nervous, scared and worried, but also very inquisitive. So I am going in thinking I am about to be told I have Cancer, I had prepared myself for this, before this appointment I didn't sleep all that well and crying was becoming a constant, I walk into a nice big waiting room that has a nice big t.v in the corner that was not on that day, with some paintings of Safari animals and what looked to be pictures of tall yellow grass. I had my phone with me and thankfully time went pretty quick. I heard my name called and my G.I. asked me to come in. My G.I asked a lot of questions about my life, medical history, history of food, yes I heard it from my G.I. also. then we talked about my results my G.I told me that I have a Enlarged Bile Duct (1'st sign of a big issue) and Fatty liver (2'rd sign of a big issue) So I am thinking a fatty liver? Your liver can get fat? That blew my mind. Then he said that I didn't have have cancer and I am thinking yeah no Cancer. Then he gave me bad news my Liver enzymes are off the chart (3'rd sign of a big issue) and we need to get them down.  He followed that up by saying that he wanted to do a MRI then said that he wanted to do a scope,  I should have listened to him when he was describing the scope, I had no clue what was coming on that day. After Dr.G trying everything in her power I am thinking yes something is being done so lets find out what this is and dispatch with it as quick as possible.  With a quick checkup at the end of the appointment I shook his hand and I was on my way.

Now I am going to pause and bring us back a bit here and say one of my other symptoms was the feeling of my throat closing,  yell at me all you want but I thought it was from allergies and yes I did go to the hospital for it and they said it looked like it was closing, they did there classic holding for 6 hours and human made adrenaline. If you have been there for it,  it is a shitty experience. The hook you up to monitors and they shove you epinephrine up you, so you get a huge shot of energy, then you have to breath some sort of mist for about 2 hours.  The mist doesn't stink but it feels weird then they keep checking you then they put you to sleep with Demerol, and the bitch was I never got a effect off it,  I heard of such a good high off of it and nothing,  it just made me pass out, what a bitch. Never got any high off T3 either or any type of those drugs.  So let's get back on topic here, we went we off topic big time.

So the day comes and.....  To be continued.
