No, I’m not joking.

Something was wrong. I could feel it coming on. Early morning May 3rd I started feeling pressure in my chest and cramps in my guts. Hoping it would go away, I just got up and turned on the TV. Not only did it not go away, it quickly got worse.
Aside from the cramping of my guts, the real off the scale pain is the crushing esophagus, a pain that is hard to describe. A pain that makes me loose all track of time, of where I am, I mean out of all the different “pains” I have, when this hits – it is one of the most feared. I don’t know if it is somehow related to prednisone, but one time in an amazing oversite I took Prednisone and Azulfidine on an empty stomach and it caused very similar what just happened to me now.
SO once again, I am writing to you from Littleton hospital by way of Elk Creek Ambulance. It’s ok, I’m shaking my head in disbelief as well. If there is any good news, I may be able to get my biopsy while I’m here. Today is the first day I had the strength to raise my head – so I will write more about whats happening now, I just wanted to post the latest senseless twist my health has taken this week.
Hoping to start feelin’ even slightly better, at some point.
