An update from yesterday
Well, we managed to show up ½ hour early for the appointment that we had. Too bad we didn't get into the examing room until just about an hour after our appointment was scheduled. And then some more while we waited for the doctor's intern to come in and talk to us. Turns out that the surgeon that did the last biopsy hadn't sent squat. Nothing faxed, no film was sent. We were naturally pissed because they were supposed to have taken care of everything. Turns out, this doctor wouldn't have used the existing film anyway, and he ordered a new CT scan done his way, so it's off to the hospital (we were in the clinic, but they have these nice courtesy shuttles that run between them), whereupon she has two bottles of water, and then it's off to get the IV put in, make sure that's going good, then it's 7 minutes in the CT machine, and then she's out, where they watch her for 5 minutes. The technician was great, taking the time to answer all of our questions. Then it's back to the clinic to see the doctor (the Internet is great, since he got the pictures to his computer via the network...). They did a quick check for blood in the stool, (negative). The_Rose is now being scheduled for sometime this month, for an MRI and a colonoscopy. Then she had a blood test. Then we got out of there and had linner at Olive Garden. It was.... OK. Not great. Not even good. We then got home, about 6PM. I ended up in bed around 7:30. So, we've not learned a damn thing. Nothing has been ruled out or in. Hopefully after the MRI and colonoscopy are done, we'll know something more. Permanent link posted by bytehead @ 1/14/2004 09:11:00 PM
