Tuesday - Jan. 15th Last week was having abdominal pains, pretty severe. When they didn't go away by Friday I went to Dr. Had X-rays done and lab work. Wouldn't have results until Tues. ( today ). Dr. suspected Diverticulitis since I'd had Diverticulosis for several years. I'm scheduled for Ultra Sound next Monday. Pain completely went away by Sunday. Got results this morning......left urethal stone ( kidney). CT scan indicated. No more pain.....did I pass stone? I have no clue. Waiting to hear back if the dr. wants me to keep the US appt. and or/CTscan. Yesterday I had more dr. appts. 1 pm - echocardiogram - first one since heart surgery last Feb. 1:30 appt. with Cardiologist. Got results of Echo right away - all looks great!! no more leaking from mitral valve - valve repair work holding fine. The tech who did the Echo wasn't very gentle with the wand, she kept pushing it into my scar and it was painful. I didn't say anything but wanted to stick that wand where the sun don't shine. I realize she may have been trying to get a better 'view' but sheesh, let up a little huh? Don't have to go back for 8 months now unless a new problem arises. I had a mammogram appt. at 3:30 - getting everything done in one day that I could while Tom had the day off and could take me. I had originally scheduled mammo for 12:30 and Ultra Sound for 9:30 but when Tom reminded me about my Echo I had to reschedule. I did all this on Friday. I rescheduled US for Mon. the 21st, rescheduled Mammo for 3:30 so I could keep Echo appt. Of course, when I get to the hosp. for the Mammo......... While registering, I realized I had forgotten my script. And no one will do anything without the script! Thank God for Fax machines. Even though my dr. isn't in on Mondays - there was someone there who was able to fax the script over. So I go up to the 4th floor for my Mammo......check in....and am told they have no one scheduled for 3:30 the last appt. was at 12:30 that afternoon. WTF......it turns out SOMEONE neglected to change my appt. and they had me as a 'no show' for 12:30 I wasn't too happy, but they gave me two choices..........reschedule and go home or stay and wait 45 minutes while they restarted the Mammo machine. Grrrrr I left it up to Tom........he said we are already here we'll wait. I felt bad....it's his day off and he's spending it carting me around town and waiting in dr. offices. 50 minutes later I was called for the Mammo. I was concerned about having it done - the first time with my pacemaker ICD unit implant. It really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it still hurt like hell. I hate those -*test*-('")s. I'd rather give birth. Good for another year anyway.
