pshaw_ravenOddly enough, I was able to schedule the follow-up exams for my Liver Thing easily, and I have an imaging appointment tomorrow morning. I know I need to fast for it, but I could not find out if black coffee is okay or not, so I am going to skip it and try to get my GP's metabolic panel labs knocked out on the same trip. The lab opens at 7:30 and my imaging is at 9, both are in the same general area. I will need to fast for the specialized blood panels as well, but since that doesn't include glucose and such, I can probably have my morning coffee.
Unless Baptist will take the samples and send 'em to Advent, in which case, I'll spend tomorrow low on coffee and low on blood. Hopefully I won't be too addlepated. But between the two sets of blood work they shouldn't be taking more than what you might donate if you give blood. It would be nice to get all that out of the way. Then I just have a routine appointment with my GP right before we leave for Disney. No races that weekend, this is to visit the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival.
Anyway. I'm also going to try to get some more gardening items while I'm out. I'd like to plant some flowers near the veggie beds to attract pollinators that way. I'm also running low on animal repellent spray. It keeps the deer away from the new lemon tree, and hopefully I can stop rabbits from going through the fence. They somehow get in, but then get stuck on the way out and die in the fencing. We had that happen twice last year. I may also buy a couple of bags of garden soil or even Black Kow to mix into the last two beds.

Date: 2024-04-05 07:38 pm (UTC)When I'd mentioned to my pcm my right abdominal pain, she sent me to get an ultrasound thinking I may have a hernia around my belly button from surgeries. But when I got there, she'd only generically entered 'abdominal area'. The tech squirted the gel above where the pain was. When I asked her if she'd also be scanning where the pain was, she said she was just going to do the liver area & surrounding but then wiped that off when I showed her where the pain actually was. She found nothing untoward though [of course]. Since then I've had 2 separate episodes of pain and v bleeding. One episode I've had before but many years ago. It stymied drs then too as they found nothing amiss so finally prescribed 2 different antibiotics & sent me home. That did help though. This time I waited it out & the pain eventually went away. But now I'm wondering if I should've let the tech scan the liver area because they've never checked that before. It's just upsetting to feel as if something is wrong but keep being told no it isn't, so it must be in your head. Hence why for many years I just stopped going to the dr but now that I am again, it's more of the same.
Anyway, I hope everything went well & the fasting didn't negatively impact you too much :)
