I just wanted to let everyone know that my upper endoscopy went fine. I am still a bit drugged feeling and I also have a sore throat that makes it hurt to swallow anything, but other than that I'm good. At this point all I know is that the pictures showed that my esophogus was really red and swollen, and there was bile in my throat and intestines and I guess it is only supposed to be in your stomach. As far as the biopsies go I am hopefully supposed to have the results on monday. I now have my drivers permit, passed the written test with 100% so I'm pretty excited to start driving. Let's just hope my parents get around to teaching me or else paying someone to teach me soon. My parents bought a wii recently, I don't know if anyone on here has ever played it but i find it pretty fun. It's nice because in real life I can't really play sports anymore, but on the wii I can bowl and play tennis and it's fun. Although even playing it has made me pretty sore. Anyways, I have to see about getting the paperwork to apply for medicaid. According to the social worker my friend talked to, I should definately qualify for medicaid if my parents take me off of their taxes as a dependent, and she seems to think I could qualify for social security too, but I doubt it. If I do I will finally have that extra strength I need to get out of the house, because I'll at least have some money to help pay for stuff. Otherwise I'm not sure how, because I know that I will not be able to handle working and going to school full time, my energy levels are shot, I find myself wasting the day sleeping more and more, and with the stomach issues, the horrible chest pains that have been making it hurt to breathe, and my normal rsd pain levels, I just don't know how I'm supposed to do it all on my own. But at least I'm working on it, and I guess that's all that matters right now. I guess that's about all I have to share right now. If the biopsy finds anything I'll let you know, and don't forget...I turn 18 on august sixth. I'll keep posting if anything else changes.
