Dennis Dixon

This is a tremendous football player that had his senior season cut short by a season ending injury that happened last Thursday night. The injury accusal toke place three weeks ago in their game against Arizona St.. He then further hurt his knee in the game last Thursday against Arizona. I don't think that any one player means as much to there team as he does. once he left the game the field became tilted in one direction towards the Arizona side. The backup quarterback is not able to do the things that Dixon is able to because as ion the first drive of the Arizona game Dixon took a fourth down play and went forty yards for a touchdown. Give all the credit the backup should dissever but the Oregon Ducks are not the same team that was ranked number two in the BCS polls with out Dixon.

Sick and Frustrated.

I have been feeling really sick for a long time. I've been going to the doctor constantly. The past week I've gone to the doctor three times. My doctor is almost positive that I have Gastritis or Acid Reflux. This is when your stomach produces too much acid. This disease is chronic. My stomach produces too much acid almost every time I eat or when my stomach is empty. Gastritis can cause Peptic Ulcers, which is when the acid burns a whole into your stomach. My mom thinks that I have an ulcer. All of this is very painful. Lately I have been throwing up acid. I have an antacid medicine that I have been taking. It has been helping a little. I've been having stomach pain since July, but it has gradually gotten worse. My stomach pain is the worst when I eat greasy foods and cheese. Which is pretty much all dorm food is. I am not able to eat my favorite foods, pizza, cheeseburgers, nachos, cheese fries, etc. The past two weeks all I have been eating is bananas, apple sauce, bread, bagels, crackers, yogurt, some soups, and peanut butter. Because I am not eating enough food I am constantly tired and have headaches. This makes school very difficult. I have been missing classes and falling behind. I am so frustrated! I just want to feel better. Over break I am going to a stomach specialist. Hopefully he will be able to help me feel better. Over break it will also be nice to have my mom’s help. If you know anyone who has Acid Reflux, please ask them how they deal with it. I would love some advice.
