A light supper with crackers, bread, cheeses, slices of meat, sausage, bites of fruit, a walnut, and cheesecake. A few sips of wine (she drinks VERY little alcohol). Kidneys at about 80% function. 2 years ago had bout of dehydration, cause unknown. Drinks mostly water.
Have a picture of blob, don't know how to upload. Size of a quarter, like a large capsule. Or jellybean without coating.
No history of GERD, does suffer from heartburn occasionally. Medicine for past history of stage 4 inflammatory breast cancer, cholesterol little elevated (taking mess). Possible gall bladder issue?
No burning, but pain from vomiting.
Sleeping now, but wakes with dry heaves. Have taken nothing for it.
