Health update
Apr. 20th, 2006 07:29 pmSo for all those interested, I had a nice chat with the head of the GI department who is under the impression that whatever is wrong with me, it isn't an ulcer. Good news and bad news that, ulcers are child's play to cure these days, on the other hand not having an open sore on a major internal organ's not exactly the end of the world either.
But this doesn't get me out of all the tests, oh no. So CT scan on Tuesday and endoscopy whenever I can get an appointment for one. Apparently whatever they drug you with for the latter is so good that you're not even allowed to take a cab home after it. The nurse commented that I probably didn't want to go changing my will for at least 24 hours afterwards, nor making any other major decisions. I just laughed and promised not to.
I suspect I won't do much that afternoon save sleep, and perhaps sleep a bit more.
Ah well, nothing yet to report but maybe a few answers soon enough. Oh, and interestingly enough my doc's family was originally from the Ukraine as well. Seems to be quite a few of us ou there :)
