Update on Dr Appt.

Well, I went to the new Dr on Jan 4th. It turns out I was sent to the wrong type of specialist! They sent me to a Urologist and I should have seen a Nephrologist.

When I went in an told her my problem she told me they do not deal with that type of problem and that I should be seeing a Nephrologist. I asked what they dealt with and one of the problems was incontinence, so I decided not to waste the office visit and had her check that out for me. As it turns out I do have a problem and they are treating me for it.

Now I have an appt for the 31st with the newest Dr. Hopefully this is the right one. He was recommended by a friend and she sang his praises.

That week I have already asked for 2 days off, so I have to go in and talk to them about days off. this should be interesting.

More Dr appts and New Year

Well the kidney infection came back. I went to the Dr and they gave me a rx and sent urine for a culture. They called a few days ago and the culture showed the rx they gave me would not work and they gave me a new one. Maybe now it will be gone. Evidently there is protein in my urine, which I understand is not a good thing.

I do have an appt with a urologist on Wed. It will probably a get to know me and schedule tests appt.

Oh, I did not get the new Christmas lights up. When I paint the body of the shed this spring I will get it set up for the lights for next year.

I was hoping for a better start to the new year. I am hoping to travel some next summer. I miss my children and want to visit them.

Test Results

Well, the Ultra sound showed an enlarged bile duct. The MRI showed an ulcer on my liver, the Dr said it has been there a long time and is nothing to worry about. The Endoscopy showed an enflamed stomach lining. They did a biospsy and there is nothing to worry about.

It is hard for me to believe that a small inflamation could cause those severe stomach aches. Looks like that is the case though. I haven't had any more and I hope that means this is over.

The first Dr did put me on antibiotics for a kidney infection, perhaps that helped with the inflamation in my stomach. who knows??

It has been COLD here but is supposed to be warming up to the mid 50's. I hope so. Perhaps I can put up the lights I bought for my shed.

Stomach update

I had an MRI and it showed an ulcer on my liver, but the Dr said not to worry. That it had probably been there for years.

I had and Endoscopy and the only thing it showed was an inflamation of the lining at the bottom of my stomach. They did a biopsy and I shoul hear soon.

I went off the RX the dr gave me and so far no more stomach aches. Who knows why I was getting them. I'm just glad nothing showed up.

It was very cold last week, but now it is warming up and quite pleasent. Yesterday I went to a Christmas brunch that my sister-in-law started last year, and had a good time. We take a white elephant and a legitimate gift. To much fun was had by all. I got the cutest bird that looks great out on my patio. Also a cute canister. Cindy, the woman whose home we were in also gave me a small Christmas tree she had in her yard. She is so kind, funny and generous. Her home is very nice, especially the back yard. Two gazebos, two fire pits, bbq, plants, etc. It was warm, no wind and all in all a very good day.

Today I'm going to a concert at the Arizona Folklore Preserve to see Sweethearts in Carhearts. They are a trio of ladies. One is a cowboy poet and the other 2 are award winning singers. They have great harmony. Should be a good show. Last week the group was a combination of Daughters of the Purple Sage and 2 gentlemen. Great music!!!! I just don't understand why more people do not go the the Preserve.

More stomach ache

It has been a very painful week. Some days I am ok, but then I will have a bad day. Sunday was a bad day. Spent most of the day in bed. The next day all was good, the next some pain, but now awful. then yesterday, went home from work after 3 hours and had pain all day. I called the Dr and asked for something for pain. the pharmacy just called and my rx is ready.

Lets hope this works and I can actually work. I need the $.

I'm still trying not to build a mountain range, but this is not looking to good. It is difficult staying positive.

Stomach ache

this is not necessarily an escapade but I've been having severe stomach aches for about a week now. I went to the Dr and had some blood work and an ultr sound. the ultra sound came back abnormal and now I have to go see a gastroenterolgist. that sounds like more tests. Ugh!!

I'll keep you informed.

I called and I have an appt for the 14th. It seems like an eternity to me.

Hummingbirds and patio

This morning I was working on the iron on the patio, getting it ready to paint. I have a hummingbird feeder there and they were so busy trying to get to it with me in the way. I got my camera and tried to get some pics. Here are the best ones. Not that any of them are that good.

I will try again to see if I can get better ones.
