You okay, KBC? I'd call you, except that the phone system where I'm house and dog sitting isn't working.

Rats!

I've been better, \physically sick, but almost over it(and myself.. lol)

Just glad to see Alty is going to be feeling better soon,, got to get her back to her happy,happy,joy,joy self again:D

Yeah, she's very much an inspiration and boon to this site!

knowing you'll be OK, made my day.

alty's going to be OK, and it's a relatively (meaning, it CAN be fixed) simple fix ^_^

Hallelujah!! I am so relieved! I have been so worried about you!

That's sooooo good to hear, Hon. The even better news is that when the 'rhoids start shrinking, you can get off the iron pills. Maybe we'll even let you back in the Cafe'

Alty, I am so happy for you and relieved. :)

Why why why didn't I mention 'roids when I was thinking it? I swear on my little son that thought crossed my mind. But J9 and WG had me so worried I just dismissed it. Figured that would be to simple. Well who cares now. I am so happy to hear the news Alty. Truly. I have been lurking this thread for days worried for you.

I actually thought of that too. But because of family history I over-analyzed and dismissed that thought. I also didn't think that this could cause so much bleeding.

I wondered myself, but I stuck with the old Will Rogers philosophy - "Plan for the worst, then whatever happens different is gravy."

They're really large J and there are lots of them. The bleeding is because of the size and the IBS, at least that's what the specialist told me, or R, because I was still half asleep. ;)

LOL! I plan on drinking a whole pot of coffee in under 5 minutes. ;)

Thank you all for sticking with me through all of this. I'm sorry that I had you all worried. I'm sorry I had myself all worried. ;)

I can't tell you all how much I appreciate the support through all of this.

Hugs to all. :)

You had every right and reason to worry. And, as your friends, so did we.

You know, maybe it's because I'm young and stupid and still convince I, and everyone around me, am immortal, or maybe it's because I'm an optimist who believes in the power of positive thought, but I never really thought this WOULDN'T turn out OK.

:) I love your optimism. :)

Sadly I've lost too many people in my life, relatively young people. I know all too well that age doesn't mean you're safe from disease.

I guess my angels actually did look out for me, and my friends on AMHD. :)

I am so happy for you Alty! I worried all day yesterday! The Lord answers prayers. Now I can sleep better tonight! I don't know what we would do without you and Thank God we don't have too. Hugs:), Hugs,

Hello Alty:

It's true. Unbeknownst to my friends at AMHD, I'm an arse angel. I showed up at your house one night last week. As you were fast asleep, I waved my magic wand over your sore bum. It worked, huh?

I can think of 4 of them, and with those, you are a very lucky woman! ;)

I'm guessing, Alty, that, like in my case with ulcers, a nutritionist or someone like that gave you a list of foods to avoid or swear off, and another list of foods that are encouraged. I'm also guessing, Alty, that popcorn and coffee are on the "avoid or swear off" list.

Did he give you prilosec or nexium?:)

I took Nexium for three-plus months until a follow-up colonoscopy that determined the ulcers had healed.
