Jennifer's Condition--Follow Up 2

We met with the GI specialist today. He was a nice man who listened well and seemed to understand well when I described my symptoms. He was not surprised that my gall bladder tests came back normal since most of my pain is on my left side. And, that's what I kept trying to tell everyone. So, he scheduled me for an endoscopy, but in the mean time gave me a script for an anti-spasm drug for the pain (which I feel like is already working). And he also wants me to take fiber pills and take/eat probiotics. His guess is that it's a simple matter of my colon just not functioning properly (not a structural problem), but with a little help, it should do fine.

The first available endoscopy slot wasn't until during Sonship Week, and I really don't want to have this done without Patric. The next one was on my birthday...no thank you! So, I'm scheduled for Nov. 13th. Obviously, if I need to have it sooner due to increased pain, I'll do so. But for now, my goal is just to get back into the land of the living. He said I probably won't be running any races any time soon, but I should be able to get out and walk. I'll take that! :)
