Some cause for hope.....this morning I did a lot of phone "foot work". I am scheduled for a colonoscopy, and an EGD Bravo on 12 Sept. (local). My Doctor at the base is also submitting a referral for me to the Mayo Clinic, as a "fall back" plan in case this test finds nothing.

This weekend was a rough one... I've been in so much pain that I've only slept 3-4 hours per night....the Vicodin seems to last about that long, then the pain wakes me up. Same thing during the day...as soon as a dose of the Vicodin starts wearing off, I have to go to the couch or recliner and lay quietly for about an hour. I'm really hoping that this next test gives us some clues as to what's going on, and ultimately a direction to fix me. I'd really like to stop taking these pain killers before my liver explodes!

Thanks for all your prayers and encouragement!
