Dr Albibi scheduled an endoscopy/colonoscopy which only showed mild gastritis. Colon looked great. Dr. Morris decided he needed to do a diagnostic laproscopy of abdomen which he scheduled for September 23 with preop on September 21.

I continued to work at this time and ride my horses. I had met a girl named Rebecca and she started coming out to ride Cash. This was on the saturday just before I went into the hospital at BMC.  I was noticing some back pain but just thought is may be muscular.  So anyway I worked Thursday, Friday, was off Saturday and scheduled to work Sunday and Monday. While at work Sunday I spoke with Dr. Wadhera about the pain in my back. My stomach was bothering me too but the pain across my rib cage in back seemed worse/different. Don would press on it like counter pressure and it would really help. Dr. Wadhera thought it was muscular and a friend at work gave me a back rub ( thanks Kim). By Sunday night I was not doing well. I told Don I needed to call in sick. He had bought Subways for dinner.  my sandwich hit me like a ton of bricks.
