Little Updates: September and October 2012
Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great couple of months. Firstly I would like to apologise for there not being a little updates blog post last month but my health was very rubbish at the end of September which is why there was no blog post, so this months little updates will cover September and October.
At the beginning of September I had a appointment at the Gastro clinic, the appointment went okay but there was one slight problem and that was the consultant was not in the hospital, so the IBD nurse suggest a few things that we could do but it would need the consultant's approval, so a couple of weeks after I got a letter from the hospital saying that they would get me an appointment for an MRI scan but to date I have not had an appointment sent to me.
A couple of weeks later the community dietitian came to see me and we agreed on a plan of action to try and stop me from losing anymore weight. The plan of action was to continue on the 1 litre of Preavite and then introduce this new supplement drink called Vital to my diet. About a week after I had seen the dieitian my oesphageal stricture became so bad that I was unable to swallow anything and I was also bringing up salvia all the time because it wouldn't go past the stricture.
The beginning of October was really rubbish because I spent the first two weeks not being able to drink and bringing up saliva, I did phone the hospital at the end of September to tell them I needed my stricture dilated but I didn't get my dilation done until the 19th of October. After I had the dilation I didn't think it was as good as the previous dilation's but at this point I am still able to eat, so fingers crossed that it will last a bit longer this time.
