I had upper g.i./sbs on Tues. Wed. morn, I had a huge chunk of barium that
wouldn't pass, so I took some milk of mag. It didn't help much. I went to
an e.r. last night, as I was feeling worse. They did xrays and said that
there wasn't much barium in there. But Dr. sent me home with a small cup of
milk of mag with cascara. I took some, and had some results, but not good.
I called gastro who ordered test and told them I am worse. The girl said the
next avail. appointment is next Thurs. She said he didn't have results of
upper g.i.

I know I can't go on too many more days like this, not being able to eat, or
barely going.
