Dr. Visit Today!

I went to the Doctor today as a follow up to my endoscope and colonoscopy. The verdict a polyp was removed from my colon and was benign. The growth in my stomach was Helicobacter pylori a bacteria that could cause me to have an ulcer. So, he wrote out a prescription for Prevpac. I take it for the next 14 days go back in 6 weeks and see if it killed the bacteria. Other than that I will have to have a colonoscopy every 3 to 5 years just to make sure there are no more polyps. My labs were showing elevated liver enzymes indicating a fatty liver. The only cure for a fatty liver is losing weight. So, I am going to have to start a modest and I do mean modest diet with modest exercise. I want to personally lose about 40 pounds.
I took the prescription to Publix to get it filled they had to order it and it should be here tomorrow. I refused to use Walgreens anymore. I have had several negative experiences with them in the past. I do have to use them for my mail order because that is who the insurance uses. But, that is as far as I am going. I will use Publix and CVS if I need anything from a 24 hour place.
One last thing, I am heading to Greeneville, Tennessee next week to look for some land. I hope it goes much smoother than last time. So be sure to look for pictures posted everywhere (i.e. this blog page and the moblog).
