New Yeas Eve 2024

 

Bile. We know what it is. It’s the taste I get in my mouth right before we throw-up. Seems the kidneys makes this stuff and sends it to the gaul blatter. The gaul blatter holds it until you eat and then sends it to your digestive track to help digest your food.

Gaul Blatter – Gaul Stones.

Saturday night, Dec 30, 2023 my wife, Jo, drove me to the Key West Hospital. It felt like heart burn and then went to a weight on my chest. I told them I thought I was having a heart attack. After lots of blood test they decided it was Gaul Stones. They put me on an ambulance to Mount Sinai hospital in Miami. Again, after lots of blood test they decided it was Gaul Stones. They scheduled me to have the Gaul stones removed and 2 days later have the Gaul Blatter removed.

With all this testing my heart monitor went off for racing of the heart. They sent me to a lab to monitor the heart and found what they think causes the problem. This should cause The V.A. to look at this soon.

 I was released Friday Jan 5^th. I have lost about 15 pounds. My blood pressure is 130/70- my cholesterol is 150.

Since I no longer have a gaul blatter, the bile just drops into my digestive track. I taste bile all the time. I have been throwing up for days. My logic: Since bile is used for digestion, I need to keep something in my stomach. I now try to eat every two hours. That seems to help a lot.

Getting back to normal, l need to gain weight and get more energy. 1/15/2024
