Tomorrow is the first of several doctor appointments where we find out what is in my belly.
A brief discussion earlier revealed that it’s most likely an alien chicken that’s been fermenting in my stomach for the past 8 weeks. He’s most likely green and slimy, his feathers have been eaten away by the acid in my stomach…His eyes are bloodshot. Lastly he’s angry. You’d be angry too if something swallowed you and you didn’t digest…kind of like Boba Fett in the belly of the Sarlacc. I digress, my brain gets away from me sometimes.
So, the first appointment to find out what’s up with my stomach is tomorrow. We’re going to see a couple things…we’re going to ultrasound my gallbladder first and make sure that it looks like a normal gallbladder…whatever that means…no stones in it I guess would be normal…
Then! The exciting part comes. I get to eat radioactive eggs and toast and then lay on a table and we’re going to xray my stomach and make a video of it digesting the food. I’m really excited about that…so excited in fact that the video may make it to this website!
This is step 1-2 in figuring out why within a couple hours of eating a meal my stomach looks like I’m 3 months pregnant (I was joking with a friend, it took her 3 months to look pregnant and it takes me 1 meal). This is the initial steps in discovering why my stomach hurts so bad after eating, why I’m rarely hungry…all kinds of whys…
It’s quite exciting!
And, in case you’re wonder, if we do find a chicken in my belly, this is what it will look like:

I have sympathy for the techs doing your testing. I’m sure you’ll be the first patient waiting for a slimy green chicken to show up on the videos.
Seriously, I hope it all goes well. I’ll say a prayer.
