I found out last week that I have a hiatal hernia.



For those of you who don't know what this is:



Hiatal Hernia: an abnormal condition in which part of the stomach protrudes upward through the esophageal cleft in the diaphragm, sometimes causing a backflow of acid stomach contents into the esophagus



So the doctor wants to put me on 2 different medications. Nexium and something else that starts with an "R" that I have to take 4 times a day.



But I will not be able to use these medications while I am pregnant, which I hope to be by the end of the year.



So what the hell am I supposed to do? Suffer through pregnancy???



I don't think so.



I have a surgery consult in 2 weeks to get this and the gallstones taken care of. I would rather have surgery to fix the problem than take medicine for the rest of my life.



OH YEAH...guess what? My gastroenterologist told me that I am not fat because of my hypothyroidism with TSH levels that are off the charts. He said hypothyroidism doesn't cause you to gain weight! FUCKING IDIOT (pronounced EEEEEEEdiot from Ren and Stimpy)



I am already doing EVERYthing on the list he gave me. But I guess he just thinks I'm a pig. I hardly eat, but OINK OINK I guess.



The FUCKWAD.

I found out this morning that I have Sleep Apnea.



For those of you who don't know what that is:



Sleep Apnea: Apnea caused by upper airway obstruction during sleep, associated with frequent awakening and often with daytime sleepiness. It occurs most often in people who are obese or who have an obstructed respiratory tract or neurological abnormalities.





I am not obese, I just happen to stop breathing 8 times an hour while I am asleep. The sleep specialist thinks this is caused by my hypothyroidism.





ICK!
