[Ravensfort] grumpy Therasia's stomach

[m meaux]

Nope.  Not TMI for me.  Finally, someone was speaking my language.

Hope you fell better, and enjoy the good drugs while they last!!

and before anyone has to ask,
the preliminary results are:

"acute gastritis" and "non-bleeding erosive gastropathy"

the latter is seven spots on the duodenum side of the 
stomach which could be called a cluster of "ulcer-ettes"
as the GI guy put it this afternoon (and boy, are they 
ticked off...)

So, if the pathology comes back positive for Helicobacter 
pylori (ulcer causing bacteria), I get antibiotics on top of 
the ulcer medicine and it should be cleared up in a couple 
of months.  And if the pathology comes back negative for 
Helicobacter pylori, then I just keep taking the ulcer meds 
they just gave me and it should be cleared up in a couple of 
months.  Of course, that's barring something icky turning up 
on the biopsy or a possible clogged bile duct (that's not 
eliminated yet and won't be until after the ulcer-ettes are 
gone; it's a possibility since I recently had my gall 
bladder out)

That was probably too much information, wasn't it?
