Just a quick update on my camera pill experience.
I won’t get into the gory details but the camera pill that I swallowed at about 7:30 am Wednesday morning made it’s way through my body without any major problems, even if I did feel awful all day Wednesday!
It passed through me about 16 or so hours after I swallowed it. Again, no details other than the fact that it wasn’t flashing pics anymore even though I smiled down at it and said “cheese”!
All I can do now is sit and wait and hope that it took pics of my bad areas of small bowel, and that it made it’s way to the end of my small bowel (15 feet to travel!) before the transmitter was returned to the hospital on Wednesday afternoon. If it didn’t then I just wasted $1100 that I can’t afford to begin with let alone have it wasted on a test that didn’t do it’s full job.
Wow…. I’m speachless… What an experience. A bit scary too though. I would have worried all the time that it should get stuck, that I should have some king of narrowing… Phew!
But did it only take pictures of the small bowel, not the rest too? All the way out? why not if it where there anyway?
Actually, my sister should do this test and maybe myself too, but I’m not even sure if this is an option over here. I’ve never heard of it other from Scientific magazines.
Anyway, let’s hope that it got very clear pics and that’s something can be done to make your life better!!!! That’s the main thing.
