Terry - could be your gallbladder-especially since your vomiting. Does eating bother you?
As far as your inr - make sure they are checking your blood at least every 3 days to make sure you dont go to high.

Terry, sorry I was out of town on business for two days and sometimes on the weekends I dont get on my computer much. I believe it is your gallbladder - try for now to eat small - bland foods - nothing greasy. See if that helps until you see your doctor. The HIDA scan i believe, is where they use a dye and follow it through your digestive system so they can see if there are blockages anywhere. Is your belly tender to the touch? Is it swollen and hard?

[hi laurie]

yes it is tender to ouch and it is very hard and seems swollen i was able to hold down scrambled eggs yesterday first thing besides some soda crackers unsalted ones

[terry68]

that was my comment under hi laurie sorry wasnt thinking anyways yes my stomach is hard and is tender to touch and sorry for bugging you i just value your opinion

Terry,

That concerns me - it sounds like a possible obstruction - I know it sounds gross but are you going the bathroom normally. Do you know if your doctor checked your bowel sounds? Let me know what your doctor says.

[terry68]

i called my doctor but she did not get back to me today i am sure they will call tomorrow but i have only had a small bowel movement in 7 days i thought was constipated i will let you know what happens when i talk to my doctor.

[terry68]

Hi laurie i just wanted to give you an update and i wont bug you anymore as i know there are others you can help with your vast knowledge anyways i am going for a hida scan this week and the surgeon told me if that comes back negative she will have no choice but to do an exploratory surgery on me i been in the hospital 2 times since i posted last i stayed a couple days each time i am still hardley eating and this is making my diabetes go out of whack and causing me a lot of problems alli been doing is taking ensure until we get this sorted the surgeon still thinks its my gallbladder but i dont know anymore i am getting discouraged , i dont like the idea of an exploratory but i guess they know best anyways take care of yourself and thanks so much for all your help and advice and info you are awesome they way you help people out the way you do no words can express my gratitude thanks again bye

Terry, thank you but I wish I could have helped you out more. I wish you the best and pray that God will give your doctors the knowledge and wisdom in finding out whats wrong. I pray for your health and peace as I know that has to be frightnening you. I know it sounds unrealistic but I would like you to spend time everyday closing your eyes and focus on nothing but relaxing. Focus on anything positive you can think of - stress causes alot of damage on its own so try not to feed it. Be thankful for 5 things everyday and focus on each one - sometimes it helps to write them down. It really helps to take your mind off of what your going through and look at life through different eyes. Good luck and keep me informed when you can.
