I got back my Labs today - Good and Bad news

I will always try to post the most current picture of me as I blog so you can see my progression. I will also try to make them a full body shot but I took this pic today after I found out I got my labs back. I wanted to have something that reminded of this day.

It was good news that I was not anemic as I had thought they would say and I would have to take iron pills and stool softeners and the whole nine yards. However, I was tagged with the H Pylori Bacteria. :( which means I have to take 3 prescriptions for two weeks and then have another test taken of my stool.

Okay, can I just say, who wants to do a stool collection for a sample? NOT THIS CHICK! I guess I will have to though. So After two weeks of the medication, which I start tomorrow, they will wait a month and test me again. YIPPEE... stool sample coming right up.

For the vitamin A, D and Calcium Caltrate that I need to start taking I can just buy those over the counter.

So, I am one step closer to my surgery, with a minor setback. I had said that I would start taking vitamin B12 to get me in the habit of taking vitamins daily for the rest of my life anyhow. So I am not too upset that I have to start early but I was really hoping I would not have to do the H pylori regimens.

I may do a post about my research on the bacteria and its affects. They say I should not worry about it but I like to know what things are and how to avoid them in the future. I guess it comes from foods I eat and the water I drink. From what my doctor's office said it some kind of acid in my stomach. So, I may have to switch up my bottled water.
