Yes, speaking of unexpected things... I have been discharged and am now home in my own bed!! Praise God!
I am still in a decent amount of pain, but at least I am home! I got some Vicodin and Toradol, along with some cortical steroids to take for a few days.
During the stomach biopsy they found I had a hiatal hernia and duodenal erosion, as well as some other junky stuff I won't get into.
So, they said this new thing is Costochondritis- a problem with inflammation between the bones and cartilage in my chest and it's amplified by my mixed connective tissue disorder and Fibromyalgia. The doctor doing the EDG and biopsy probably manipulated me in such a way that twisted my upper body and stressed my breast plate. They think he also put pressure on my chest (sternal rub) while inserting the camera. My doctor today said it can take up to 4-6 months to heal and I may have to get cortisone shots in my chest between the rib bones to help!
I realized tonight that I have lumps in my belly where I got the blood thinner shots. What an "interesting" weekend! I feel terrible that we missed our friend's wedding, and I will miss two days of work! I plan to go back on Wednesday. At least I am home now, in my own bed, with my family, where I belong!
And now the Denver Broncos are playing... so I have to go!
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!! Much love to all!
