Coughing this morning. Still exhausted. Left house at 208 pm. Back here at 852 pm
Hour at MO Medicaid office Raytown resource center. Paperwork and accurate information and instructions from lady there named Orel. Made appt for this Thursday 3 pm. Have decided to wait till after July 1st. She said is ok if I miss appointment. She knows I feel terrible. Orel got me a chair I am so tired and weak.
Drove myself to emergency room. Had nothing to eat only water and coffee. Fatigue sore throat. Weighed me at almost 115 lbs. Lost 5 lbs in 2 days.
98.4 temperature a fever for me. I am cold. Took my coat into the hospital.
Very nice staff helped me. Took blood swabbed throat. Checked for COVID-19 flu mono strep all negative.
Dr Bro summary is gerd acid coming up micros... Causing sore throat. Prescriptions for maalox and protonix. My grandma Sarah took maalox daily. She had ulcers like I do but had surgery for it
Sent colonoscopy order to my primary care physician Emily. My grandma Sarah had upper and lower GI tests regularly. I have never had either.
So I am so like my grandma. She had disc fusion back surgery when I was 5 or 6. Had slipped discs from falling down stairs.
I have not had back surgery. Can't due to osteoporosis bad. Probably needed surgery many years ago. Maybe the scoliosis curve would not have progressed to 53 degrees it shows on last scan .
Finally ate food when I got home. 10 pm ate beef frozen fries cabbage cucumber radish potato salad.
Nice nurse Sarah a real lady at University Health gave me some snacks after Dr was done analyzing my results. I did eat the fig bar and Lorna dune cookies but not the apple juice or graham crackers.
They told me to wait for 2-4 hours after I eat before I go to bed because it's causing the acid reflux while I sleep.
I have been eating right before bed almost every night for years. Must stop doing that.
It's after 11 pm now so I will have my dessert banana and 2 fresh strawberries then wait two hours before going to sleep.
I will read more of book after dessert. Book is The minds of Billy Milligan by Daniel Keyes. Billy was first person to have criminal charges removed because psychiatrists diagnosed genuine multiple personality disorder.
It is probable that many more people have it or had it and we're not diagnosed. Psychiatric field is relatively new compared to the history of mankind which has an origin still unknown.
People study history and guess when humans began. Science and religion have different answers
