Good News

Well, I had the first of two required motility tests done at TGH hospital, today. They gave me results, immediately, which they said was good. :) That motility test tested my throats functionality. And the results from this test done today, showed that my throat does work well enough. I literally thank god for that. Yes, the reflux problem is there, still, as well as the gastroparesis. But, the swallowing part is normal enough, the results of today's test, showed. And I am very happy about that cus it could mean a step closer to getting the gastric pacemaker surgically implanted. :) I have the second motility test that was set for tomorrow being in the process of rescheduling. IO am waiting for the person who reschedules these types of tests to contact me, back, about the new date and time of this second test. For this test, they will give me anesthesia, do an upper GI to put in the pill that has the camera within it, and then that camera will go throughout my whole digestive system, and will be in my system for 48 hours, I was told. This type of motility test should show how my stomache and intestines are functioning. they already know that I have gastroparesis of my stomache due to two different lengths of duration of gastric emptying tests that tests for gastroparesis having shown results of gastroparesis (of "moderate delayed emptying," the results of the gastroparesis tests, read), and intestinal problems of same symptoms. If this is good enough of function, though, even if not the best of functioning of my intestines and stomache, they will then go forward with the gastric pacemaker surgical implantation. I apologise for such a long blog. (I just didn't know how to say about all of this withou having done so. I truly didn't mean to bore anyone with this info and length of post about this info. Hugs, all.
