Hello all,
I've had issues on and off with my stomach for years. I had my gallbladder removed in 99 and an endocscopy 2 years ago that showed nothing but mild gastritis. Well, I haven't been feeling well for a week. Had a stinging pain in my stomach for a few days now. And slight nausea. And just general not feeling well. So I was able to get in to see a GI. He did lab work and everything checked out except that I am very anemic. So now he wants to do an endoscopy AND colonscopy!!! I am soooo scared! And I am a very anxious person! Also, I am the mother of 6 kids ranging in ages from 23 to 16 months. And I just lost my mom unexpectedly last month. I am under a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety and now this. My mind automatically goes to the worst thoughts! I am so terrified. I'm sitting here at work and just feel like running away! Any encouragement is greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you for reading this.

Hi Elise,
Yes, that makes complete sense. My Dad has been gone 10 yrs and my Mom a little over 2 months. So my sadness for Mom is still so fresh. But when I think about Daddy, I get a little introspective myself. I miss him dearly as well but the pain is not as painful. Does that make sense? :)
Thanks for your reply. Enjoy the great memories of your Dad today on his 8th year death anniversary. God bless.

Of course it makes sense to me! Your kind words touched me...thanks so much!
My Dad passed away 8 years ago and my Mom has 'only' been gone for 3 years...so many things I now wish I had thought to ask both of them.
