Health update

[ebonlock]

So 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 :)

Let me know if you need a ride and/or babysitting after the latter--I'll try to fix my schedule up.

Supposedly I will need a babysitter that day, which irks me to no end, but I can't make the appointment until Monday and it may take some time to actually get in there to have it done.

Well, it's not like I'm going anywhere. (:

I spoke too soon, just got a call back and got my appointment. I'm going to check with Aelf 'cause it's a Friday and she would be coming up here anyway, so I might just be able to have her do the duty for me. I'd hate to ask you to take any time off from work for it, but the person told me I should be entirely done by 1, so that might not be so bad. Will let you know one way or another by Sunday.

I would not at all mind missing work for you. (: Just let me know.
