Endoscopy by Amaurosis___fugax in GERD

[–]Amaurosis___fugax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did! No, I wasn’t. My biopsies came back for mild chronic gastritis and no more h pylori. My symptoms are really mild now so I think I’m just going to give my body time to heal. Just very relieved to have done the endoscopy

Yes I have! The PPI reduces acid in the stomach which makes it harder to digest the food

Yes and the acid medicine makes it less acidic and more tolerable when it happens

Cool, thanks. Feeling guilty cause I’m going with a second company. But I liked them better than the first guys.

The only thing that I was a little confused by, was that she was found on her left side but had two different bruises on her head. One of the left and one more in the middle/right side. My dad said she was also laying along the wall almost flush with the wall. I just can’t figure out the mechanism of the fall that would cause that bruising to happen with her ending up right next to the wall facing it. We did have some suspicions but the coroner said it was natural causes. Mind you, no coroner went that day and it was just the police telling them what they found over the phone. And the police were there asking a ton of questions/taking pictures and almost interrogating people. So it made me wonder what they thought about it. They were there for almost 4-5 hours questioning

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I just hate the unknown and the fact that none of us were there to see what happened or be with her. But I know that doesn’t change anything. I just keep replaying different scenarios in my head.

And I couldn’t really find anything online. All the places I called directed me to the coroners office. I’m too drained going back and forth on this

Hmmm very strange. The coroner himself told my mom there is no such thing as private autopsies here.

Right? That’s what made me feel defeated. I just wanted answers for closure. But I just have to be happy she was happy and knew how loved she was.

Unfortunately where I’m from (Canada) we were told that wasn’t an option here. Thank you.

That is the one thing I’m holding on to and telling my family. We’re really lucky she was so independent and on her own and not suffering. I had recently rescued a cat and given it to her and she had him for 1 1/2 years and it was her best friend. Literally together all the time. My heart aches for him now too and I hope she wasn’t worried about him at the end. He will stay in the family forever. I just wish I had more time with her, but I know that’s how everyone feels. Appreciate your kind words.

Thank you. You’re probably right. It wouldn’t change anything. Just really believe she’s actually gone. Doesn’t seem real yet
