today i had a follow up visit at the doctor
the polyp was nothing more than an internal skin tag
the biopsy of the stomach lining was negative for H.Pylorii(i think i spelled that right)
alan wants me to continue with 2 prevacids a day for at least the next month
AND
he softly suggested that i try one of the newer antianxiety meds-LexaPro in an attempt to keep the acid from forming in the first place
i am hesitant to take it
i was on zoloft for a while, then prozac and then wellbutrin
they all made me feel weird in the head---weirder than normal
plus, my monthly meds are expensive as it is
he gave me a month's supply of samples and i go back to see him right before the meds run out
i tried to get him to give me a script for some of the good old timey nerve pills, but he knows me too well and says he never prescribes those anymore to anyone, especially someone with a history of addiction---bastard!
he did make me fell better about armando
i told him i was really upset about armandos possible heart ailment
he told me that if armando didnt get short of breath easily and was still playing like always, that he just didnt think that was it--that the followup tests next week would prolly show no heart problems
plus last nite i couldnt sleep so i did a lil reearch and even if he does have an enlarged heart, it is very treatable and does not portend imminent death
but, i still dont want him to be sick
i'll have to write up an entry later about how and why i became a canine guardian
