the medical conveyor belt

So I have had 1 cat scan and two er visits in 9 days.

The pain is continuous and worsening.

I was referred to a gastroenterologist...

He decided i need to do several tests, a test to rule out Celiac's disease, a colonoscopy, and an endoscopy. they were going to be a few weeks out, but i was told that if i was continuing to hurt badly, to go back to the er and I would be admitted...
That didn't happen, but my scopes have been moved up to this week... I am nervous, I will admit it, but I know I will be ok.

also, the second er doctor is my hero. He gave me some anti-spasmotic medicine that is helping soooo much.


This ordeal reminds me why doctors call it a practice 8D. Comforting, when one realizes that we are the guinea pigs.
